Hi,

You must have full-access-permissions to the share
Access needs to be able to create/write the *.ldb-file.

Thanks,
that solved my problem. I created a SQL Server database from an old .mdb
with upsizing wizard. Deleted the _local files. And it all worked fine
against SQL server. When I logged in from another account I also got "
Warning Read Only", despite that I was able to run the application and update
the SQL tables. When I after reading your post gave full access to the Access
files I don't get the warning anymore! Thanks!

Hi Folke,

I got the similar read-only problem. That is only the local user can access
the MDB file but not from network users. How can I set up full-access to my
Access file? Thanks for your help!
