Can't Open the Database

[BRANDI]

I create a database in Access 2003 and I tried to email it to someone else
but they could not open it. I notice when I closed the data base and the
folder where this data base is there was this quick icon that appear quickly
underneath the Access icon and it reads Micro Access Recording Locking and it
disappears. Can someone explain this to me? Does this mean the reason she
could not open this data base was because it was lock. I never done anything
to lock it. If so how can I correct this so that she can have access to
this. I have tried to save it on a CD but when we open it, its READ ONLY.
Please can someone help me. I'm press for time.

If you used MSOutLook in the e-mail process the it was saving the receiver
from viruses. You can Zip the file and e-mail it or change the file
extention from .mdb to something else and the the receiver change it back.
A CD is a READ ONLY format so you would have to copy it to a Read-Write
drive such as your C: drive.

A CD is a READ ONLY format so you would have to copy it to a Read-Write
drive such as your C: drive.

.... and also after doing so, right mouseclick it in Windows Explorer; view its
Properties; and uncheck the Read Only checkbox.

Windows may have blocked your attachment, so that the recipient couldn't
open it or save it from the e-mail, as a security measure. If that's the
case, tell the recipient to try clicking the Forward button in their e-mail
window's toolbar. In the forwarded version of the message that will then be
displayed, the attachment may be unblocked and saveable. This works for
Outlook Express; I can't say about other e-mail programs, but it's worth a
shot.
