replicate-read only

[Guest]

I have just created a small database and replicated twice in order for two
people to make the entries. But when they open the database it is READ ONLY.
I am able to open the replicate and enter, but when I burn it to CD and give
it to them, they open it and it says READ only.

This is a Windows feature: any file written to CD becomes read-only,
since a CD is a read-only device.

Copy the database to the user's hard disk and view it in Windows
Explorer or My Computer. Right mouseclick it, view its Properties, and
uncheck the Read Only checkbox.
