Files claim to be read-only but they aren't

I'm trying to add information onto a table via a macro, but everytime I get the macro to pop up the table in my form, I get an error message saying that the table cannot be updated, either the database or the object is read-only. Like the subject of this thread states, I know the files aren't read-only. They're on a network drive where everyone can see them and modify them.

You may have tables that aren't read only, but sometimes depending on how you join them in a query, they're not updatable.

Paste your query's SQL here, please.

I don't think I'm using a query, at least not knowingly. I believe I'm "simply" using Micros. [thumbsdown]
 
Sometimes when you link to a table if the table has no primary key access makes it read only.
