Trying to Remove Read-Only Status

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
 
Please don't crosspost to multiple forum. Find one and use it. If it doesn't get answered there, then consider a differenct forum.

There is at least one response in another forum. I don't recall which one.
