How To Make Access Database Not Read Only
with access 2007. Thanks ms-access ms-office share|improve this question edited Apr 6 at 22:23 asked May 10 '11 at 18:57 Satch3000 10.2k62148248 add a comment| 8 Answers 8 active oldest votes up vote 7 down vote accepted If someone else has the database open, then ask them to close it. 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 access database opens read only windows 7 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 3,19611625 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 down vote alos check the level of access to the shared drive. if the access to the shared drive is read only the file will open in read only format. share|improve this answer answered Dec 17 '12 at 5:
