How to disable 'Database is read-only' message

[keimpe]

Hi everyone,

I am running a database from CD-ROM. Every time I start it, I get a message saying that the database is read-only and that I cannot make any changes.

Is there a way to keep this message from coming up?

Thank you!

Hi Bastien,

I'm afraid that 'Application.DisplayAlerts' is an Excel command, because it doesn't work in Access, even when I make a reference to Excel.

Did you get it to work in Access? And if so, what references do you have in your modules?

Greetings,
