I have an Access database that is a Read Only file. Is
there a way that I can change the format so that I can
make changes in it(In Access)?
 
Is the database a MDB or MDE file?

If it is a MDB file, the solution may be as simple as
right-clicking on the file from Windows Explorer, click on
Properties, and unchecking the Read Only box. Or if the
MDB file is on a network server, you need to have
additional rights to modify the file.

If it is a MDE file, you will need to locate the original
source MDB file that created the "locked" read-only MDE
file.

I hope this helps!

Click to expand...

And this would also apply to a MDE.
