.dbf file opens "read only" only ...

hello guys

I am asking for a friend, who does not speak english. on a win 7 / 32 bit machine he is running dbase and all the dbf-files open normally except one opens "read only".

do you have any idea what could be the cause of that and if there is a fix?

thank you very much for your help.
greetings
louis

Try making a copy through dBase and then copy back to the original file.
