V Van T. Dinh Oct 2, 2003 #2 Did you copy the database onto a CD and then copy from the CD to the W98 machine? Anything you copy onto a CD will be flagged as Read-Only (usually) and when you copy from the CD to hard-disk, the "Read-Only" flag is carried. Use Windows Explorer to uncheck the "Read-Only" attribute of the file on your W98 machine. HTH Van T. Dinh MVP (Access)
