Database is Read-Only after moving to another computer?! 1

[TeddB]

I created a workgroup, applied security and tested application. It works fine. Copied the MDA and MDW files to another computer. After logging into the database I am given the message "Database 'mydatabase' is read-only"...

I'm confused- HELP!

Maybe it's the NTFS permissions of the other computer... Did you check that ?

HI

Did you copy via CD?

If yes, files copied to CD get readonly bit set, just right click file and change properties to take read only off Regards

Too far down in the forest to check the obvious !

It's good to have folks available to "look over your sholder." As an independent (working all alone) contractor, this forum is a big help to me.

A donation of $5 has been made to the forum, in recognition of our help.

Thanks, Ken.
