readonly replicas!?

[chrisbirley]

A customer of ours has created a database, and wants to send this database to different roaming users, they have used the replica function. the whole process works fine until the users receives the emailed replica. some of the users have no difficulty at all and just open the file straight away, but others have an erro message: "the database <<filename>> is read-only. You wont be able to save changes made to the data or object definitions in this database" they have tried re-creating the replica, yet the same thing happens, i have looked at the knowledgebase and it mentions about a problem with Access 97, but they are using Access 2000!!

please help

regards

Chris

Solved teh problem, the user was accessing the replica database from the zip file as opposed to extracting the database from the zip. once he had extracted the file, the replica worked fine with no problems
