Database is in Read - only mode --can't save changes made to data in this
database. How do I correct this ?
 
Find the MDB file in File Exporer, right-click on it, and check whether the
Read-only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it. (This usually happens
if you copy the database from a CD to your hard drive)

If that's not the problem, check that you have adequate NTFS permissions on
the folder where the MDB file exists. You need Read, Write, eXecute and
Delete.
