Db - Read Only Property

[Guest]

Access 97 - I am putting a totally new (renamed) version of an applicaton
into production. I would like to prevent the users from entering data into
the old production system (i.e. Convert to Read Only). I tried a very simple
approach, from the Installation program for the new application I coded:

dim Db as Database

set Db = OpenDatabBase("C:\OldApplicationName")

None of the listed properties for DB seem to allow me to convert the old
application to a "Read Only" status.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi Dean

The easiest way to do this is to set the read-only attribute of the file.
Right-click on the file in Explorer and choose "Properties".
