Open the ".ldb" file with notepad but it will only give computer ID numbers.
Where are these .ldb files typically located?? I'm not familiar with them at
all.

An .ldb file is created in the same directory as the .mdb file when the
database is opened.

I've got the file open, and I am the only one listed as having accessed the
DB. What else could be causing this DB to be read only??

If the .mdb file was copied from a CD, its DOS read only flag may be set.
Right click on the file name and look at the properties.

They would be in the same location as the original db, with the same name.
Typical folder contents:
-sample.mdb 7.48mb
-sample.ldb 1.0kb
Opening the ldb file on an old A97 database gives me 1 line of text:
MICHAELM Admin
which is my domain username and my rights to that db (it is pw equipped)
