Reset Read Only Property with code

[trebor3900]

I have a database with front end and a back end databases. I want to share this database with other users on CD.

The problem is that when copied to a local hard drive from the CD, the read only properties of the databases are set.

Rather than rely on the user having the knowledge to right click and change it back manually, can i do this with VB code automatically for them on opening it?

When I copy a back end or a front end database from a storage medium to my harddrive, it doesn't end up as read only. So, I'm going to guess that it must be related to how you copied it or something.

Thanks again
