Users_Database or Object Read Only

[Lee83]

I got the user and admin passwords working so that when you open the database it asks you to logon and I set permissions so that users can't delete data from tables only adminstrators can.

I emailed it back to work and still had the original on my workstation saved in a different location when I unzipped new and supposedly improved version into a new folder location now when you open up and add in a new user both versions comes up with the following read only error see picture.

Even on the original database that I didn’t modify or save back to!! Any ideas?

I’ve tried going into the tools/options/advanced setting it to shared or exclusive and no locks, also the properties in explorer comes up with read only and you change and apply and then you go back into properties and read only is back on!

Do you have read/write rights to this folder?

Read/Write Settings

Do you mean as in the properties in explorer when you right click?
If so, no I didn't set it to read only in there but when I saved my newly updated d/base it automatically set that property and when you untick read only and apply, it just reapplies it again straight after.

see this thread is similar problem, i have set up users but no-one is using it but me at the moment as it's still under creation.

I was referring to your computer network setup, usually set by an IT admin. Nothing to do with Access. They give / forget to give permissions for all types of objects.
