Uncheck Read Only not working

[Guest]

I have a database in Access 2000 that I want on my co-workers computer. She
needs to make changes to it. I used Nero and burned the database to a CD-RW.
I opened the CD-RW and right clicked on the Access file and unchecked the
Read-Only box, but a box pops up telling me I can't do that and it makes it
read-only again. Can someone please help?! I'm very new to Access. Thank
you.

Copy it to her hard drive and then uncheck the read-only box.

It will not work from the CD you need to copy it to her HD.

On the other hand if you have a LAN, splitting it and putting it on the
server is likely to be a much more satisfactory solution.

Thank you very much. Two more questions. How do I copy it from the CD-RW to
her hard drive? I think I know how, but want to make sure. Also, we have a
Neighborhood Network (we can share files) - is that what you mean by LAN?
How do you split and put it on the server? Thank you so much for your help!

Yes, that does sound like a LAN. Access does require a good LAN or it
will not work reliably on it. I would check with whoever is your computer
person or the help desk if you are involved in a large facility to make sure
that your LAN will handle Access.
