Read/Write Access to a table

[Guest]

I have a user who I provided an Access database table with a large "dump " of
information. They need to do a query on it, but keeps getting a "read access
only" error message. How do I make this table read/write access, or what
would they need to do to the query to be able to use the data?

if it was burned to a CD it is probably read-only, right click the file in
windows explorer, uncheck read-only

To expand on dlw's suggestion... if the mdb file was burned to a CD,
copy it to the hard drive, then:
right-click > Properties > uncheck read-only

There is also another possibility... which is the location of the mdb
file on the hard drive. Depending on the Windows version and the
user status, the user may not have write privileges in that folder.
Best thing to do is make sure the user puts the mdb file in their
MyDocuments folder.
