I have created a database on my pc. I have saved it on
the network for other users to access. However when they
try to access it the database is read only.

The following message appears.

The database 'travel request' is read-only.
You won't be able to save changes made to data or object
definitions in this database.

How do I change the database from read only to give other
users add and edit access to a form which updates a table.
regards.

Check to make certain that all your users have Change permissions to the
network folder that the database is stored on.

Have your network administrator grant the appropriate permissions to the
users.
