Database permissions - can not open

[Teebird]

I have copied a work database onto my flash drive and then onto my laptop to do some work in it.

Now I can not open the database because it has the error message.

You do not have the necessary permissions to use the database etc...

I have copied the Application file, the Data file and the Workgroup information file and the only one I can open is Workgroup information file. I have tried holding the shift key down as well.

Any suggestions as I have heaps of work to do and I have tomorrow away from work to do it.

Did you join the workgroup before attempting to open it?
