Re: Moving a newly designed database table and for to another system

CDs are read-only media as far as Access, VB, C, etc. are concerned.
Therefore, the database on the CD is considered read-only (as is any file on
the CD).

When a file is copied from a CD to a computer hard drive, it is marked as
read-only on the computer (because it came from a read-only media).

To correct that, go to Windows Explorer, right click on the mdb, select
Properties, and uncheck the read-only attribute. Remember, you can only do
this to the copy of the file on the hard-drive, you can't do it to the copy
of the file on the CD.

I have recently designe a new database table and form on my Windows XP system using Access 2003. I would like to move these objects to another similar system and use them there. I attempted simply to "copy" the database to a CD and open it on the other system but was given an error that stated the copy was read only. Your help would be appreciated.
