Hi

I have recently been given the responsibility to fix and enhance a database that someone else developed here at work. That person is no longer working with us.

I want to change the database properties but when I try using "File/Database Properties" I can make changes, but then I get a message saying they can't be saved.

CAn anyone tell me how to be able to save these changes?

TIA

I think the problem is that the someone else owns the database and all of its objects. Try building a new BLANK Access database and then importing the tables, etc. into it.
