About Rob Henderson Expertise I can answer most MS Access design questions. I also welcome questions on database design and implementation and VBA programming questions.
I also have expierence in application design for all the Office components (Excel, Outlook, etc).
Question I hope I have a simple question for you. I have Windows XP. I am pretty knowledgable about computers but have little knowledge of Access, Excel, Word. My question. I save an Access file to a CD-RW disc. When I open the file up from the disc, it says it is Read Only. Why can't I change the info and save it again writing over that file? Thanks for any help.
Answer Hi
Yeah - I've come across this before. You're writing to a read write disc and Access is treating the volume as read only.
This, I believe, is down to Access having only two read states = read only and write.
The workaround is to copy your db to the local drive make your changes then rewrite onto disc.
