I have all permisions set correctly, however when the database is opened on
another computer, it does not ask for user name or password, just informs
that it is a read only. what should i do to get the database to ask for user
name and password, then open with full access. the database is stored on a
server and each computer is connected to the server. Thanks in advance
 
Does each user have full access to the folder where the database is stored?
That will resolve the read-only issue.

The second issue indicates that you did not secure your database. You need
to read and follow all the steps in the security FAQ. Obviously you did not
remove the ADMIN user's access, so your users are able to open the database
with their default workgroup and have full access. In short, your
application is only secured for the people who use your workgroup. Anyone
out there could open your database and have full access!
