When I burn my access file to cd using adaptec cd creator 4, it becomes a read-only file. How do I get it to let me work with the file after it is burned?

Once you copy it back from the CD, find the file in Windows Explorer,
right-click on it, select Properties and uncheck the read-only attribute.

This is because CDROM is Read Only indeed. Once you copy
the file to Hard disk or any other device that is
read/write it will work. If you want to continue to use
your CD then you must break the MDB file to front end and
back end. The back end must be on a read / write device
like the hard disk. You normally write to your tables in
Access but you can not write to CDRom.
