check if database open as readonly

[MaxEd]

Does anyone know how to detect if the database has been open as read only? Thank you.

Access will tell you as the app starts that you can not make any changes to this database as its read-only.

However access should allow you to fiddle with the database's attributes.

I need to find the boolean in ACCESS to tell me if my database is readonly to hide certain objects in the database.

The way that i've done this is by opening a form read-only

DoCmd.OpenForm "formName", acNormal, "", "", acFormReadOnly, acNormal

otherwise there are form properties like Allowedits, allow additions and allow deletions

hope this helps
