If the database was not closed cleanly (Access or a computer crashed), then you can try to Compact

and Repair the file. I have also noticed that if the file is opened or put in a read-only state at any time, it might get 'stuck' like that. So try this: Open Access, but no database Open the file in question, but explicitly open it in read-only mode (the 'Open' button is actually a dropdown button. Use the button to open read-only Close the file (but not Access) Open the file again, but open normally. Not sure it that's a bug or a feature, but I've seen it frustrate many a user. share|improve this answer answered May 11 '11 at 18:30 Steve Mallory 3,18611625 add a comment| up vote 3 down vote Another thing to watch for is when someone has access to READ the fileshare, but cannot WRITE to the directory. It's OK to make the database read-only for someone, but if they ever read it (including using an ODBC connection), it seems like they need to have WRITE permissions for the directory so they can create the lock file. I've run into situations where the database gets locked read-only on the fileshare because the user who accessed it couldn't write to the directory. The only way to fix that quickly has been a call to the storage team, who can see who has the file and kick them off. share|improve this answer answered Mar 13 '13 at 14:17 Alex 312 add a comment| up vote 0 d

I couldn't figure it out where i need to remove security. Error: The database 'test' is read-only.You won't be able http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5954982/access-database-opens-as-read-only to save changes made to data or object definition in this database. This is really old database.It is in access 2003.I make sure the Read-only option is not checked out when you right click and go to properties. Also, I try to import in to separate new database. Then it is working fine for my user account but not others. They are still getting the http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=201193 error. It is not removing the security completely. I did Alt+F11 and went to see the code window. There is nothing in there. Please help me to remove the security completely. The end users need to enter the data ASAP.

Pay attention that it isn't the changes you make in the current one but you have to import everything into a non-secured one. __________________ Free tools, code and samples here: To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

It's just that MDB is the extension for the Access formats prior to the new ribbon interface world, so saying 'the users have an MDB (.accdr)' is probably better expressed by losing the 'M' and saying 'th
