Access 2007 opening files in Read only

[PeterOC]

There's possibly a very simple answer to this but it's been boggling my mind all morning and I can't find any answers on the net.

I'm opening a db on a network that was built with Access 2003. When I open it with Access 2003 on one pc it opens fine and I can edit it. But when I open it with Access 2007 I get a message saying that's it's opened the db in read only mode and that if I want to edit it I have to save a copy.

I tried opening the db exclusively but still no luck. Is there a reason why it's doing this and how do I get around it?

Many thanks,

Peter

Answer = Network Permissions

I'm pretty sure this was down to network permissions. I can copy and paste anything in the folder that the db resides on.

The other pc where I can open the db in read/write mode is logged on under a different user name.
