Copying any file to a CD sets the windows read-only attribute.
After you copy the file to your PC, remove the read-only attribute.
Note - this is a Windows reflex, not an issue with Microsoft Access.

Once a file is copied to CD, it become "read-only". When you copy it back to
hard drive, you need to clear its "Read-only" attribute by right-clicking it Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=6091
in Windows Explorer and select "Properties..." and clear "Read only" check
box.

I have recently had a new computer and copied my access database to a CD.
Now I can only access it as Read Only which means I cannot add or delete from Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=6091
the database. Please can you help as I really do not want to have to compile
a new database. |

I assume you have copied it back of the cd? if not , do that then on right
click on the file, select properties. At the bottom of the window that has
appeared, uncheck 'Read-Only' Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=6091Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=6091

It is probably just the read only property of the actual file is set because Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=6091
you copied it from a CD.
Use windows explorer to right click on the file name and untick the read
only property.
