I've created an MDE to share with other users and they're getting read-only
message. Is this right? TIA.

Did you by any chance deliver it to them on a CD? If so, after they
copy the file off the CD, they have to open the copied file's property
sheet and reset its read-only attribute.
 
No. I put it on the network shared drive.
Users open it up and receive read-only message.
I open it up and it's fine.
Do I need to do something with security? TIA.

They need full permissions to the folder that the MDB resides in including
create and delete file authority. Otherwise Access can't create, modify,
and delete the LDB file normally created when a user opens an MDB file.
 
Ahhh...excellent! Thanks for the help guys.
