A volunteer developed an Access table for our organization on her home
computer and entered data. She copied the table to a CD and brought it to
the office, but the table is "read-only." How can I change this so that we
can continue entering data at our office. We are using Microsoft Office 2003
Professional. Thanks. Canice
 
If you are accessing the data directly from the CD, you will not be
able to edit it. Copy it off the CD and use it that way.
 
Are you opening it form the CD? If so, it will be read-only; copy it to a
hard drive. Is the file read-only? Right-click>Properties>uncheck read-only.
Do you have full permissions on the share if it's located on a shared drive?
