Cannot update. Database or object is read-only. (1 Viewer)

[Romanov]

If have posted this quistion once before without finding any solution. I hope there is someone out there who can help - this is realy giving me a hard time.

I trie to do a simple code in Access 2000 :

Docmd.TransferText acExportMerge,, "tablename", "c:\filename.doc", True

I keep getting the error :

Cannot update. Database or object is read-only. The runtime error is '3027'

I have tried to do acExportDelim instead but that gives me the same answer.

What am I doing wrong here. Do I miss something - maybe in my installation ?????????????????

I have done this ofen in Access 97 - and it still works fine in Access 97 on the same machine ??.
What I'm trying to do is making a file with customer and a contact information. Thereafter I open a Word document with a macro that automaticaly merge with this file.
Is there another way to this ??

You might try this: Go into Windows Explorer and find your database file. Right-click on it and select "Properties". At the bottom of the window, under "Attributes" see if the "Read Only" box is checked. If it is, just click it to de-select it. Hope it works.
