Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

My DB was in 97 and it works perfectly.  My company changed to 2000 and now
one part of the DB doesn't work.

I am linking 2 external text files to the program.  They are text documents,
but have different file extensions (I made them up: .lnu and .pmf)  This
helps me separate them when I populate a combo box, as well as a few other
functions.

Now in 2000 I can no longer link the files.  How can I fix this?

The Error I get is 3027: Cannot Update. Database or Object is Read-Only

Here is my code:

Function DeleteLNUViewingCopy(FilePath As String, FileName As String)
Dim TheFileAndPath, TheFileAndPathDest As String
Dim x, y As Integer

On Error GoTo DeleteLNUViewingCopy_Err

If Right(FilePath, 1) = "\" Then
   TheFileAndPath = FilePath & FileName
Else
   TheFileAndPath = FilePath & "\" & FileName
End If

x = Len(FileName)
y = Len(TheFileAndPath)

If x = 0 Then Exit Function

TheFileAndPathDest = Left(TheFileAndPath, y - x) & "LNUViewingCopy" &
Left(Right(TheFileAndPath, x), x - 3) & "txt"

Kill TheFileAndPathDest

DeleteLNUViewingCopy_Exit:
Exit Function

DeleteLNUViewingCopy_Err:

If Err.Number = 53 Then
   Resume DeleteLNUViewingCopy_Exit
Else
   MsgBox Err.Number & ", " & Err.Description
   Resume DeleteLNUViewingCopy_Exit
End If

End Function

Thanks for your help
