I am on trying to create new user/group security accounts within an Access db. Problem is, every time I try to create one I receive the "Cannot update. Database or object is read-only." error. I have checked security access on the folder it's in and all is well. I have started a new database from scratch and still get the error. What's the deal? Any help is appreciated.
 
User and group information is stored in the MDW file, not your MDB (the MDB stores the permissions).

Have you checked your permissions on the directory that the MDW is stored in?
