Need help removing read-only status

[Watermelon]

Hi,

I'm trying to remove the read-only status of an Access database I'm supposed to be making changes on. I received this database from an end-user via email as a .zip file. When I extracted the file I was promted to enter a password which she provided me. I did this but then when I actually went into the extracted database I was prompted with the message, "This file is read-only and no changes may be saved."

I checked the properties of the file. Read-Only is not checked. Any idea what can be causing this?


Thanks,
Watermelon

The file may be version 97 and you are opening in a newer version.
