Access 2002

message from Sherri on 27 May 2004
I needed to back up Access files onto my computer and
when I go to edit it won't let me save says it is a "read
only" file. Can anyone tell me how to change this so I
can continue to work within these files? Thank you!

In Windows Explorer right click on the file in question and
select properties. Uncheck the read only box.
