I am trying to open my access database file on my home computer but i get a
message that i will not be able to make changes to it. Is there a way to work
around it. By the way i had been using this file with GeoMedia.

If any wizard can guide me in the right direction i will be thankful to him
or her.

Thanks,

NED

I'm not sure what GeoMedia is, but if you copied the file to your PC from
elsewhere, the read-only attribute may be set. Try this ...

Using either 'My Computer' or 'Windows Explorer', navigate to the folder
that contains your MDB.

Right-click the MDB and choose 'Properties' from the popup menu.

If there is a tick mark in the Read Only check box, click it to remove the
tick mark.

Click the OK button to apply your changes and close the Properties dialog.
