Remove "read-only" message on db startup

[Wrathchild]

I have a database that is on a server and the end-users have only read permission to it. The db is NOT read-only itself, so I'm trying to figure out a way to stop that "The database 'xxx' is read-only" message from appearing.

One way is to create a shortcut similar to the one below for each user. Check the path to Access to verify it agrees with your installation. And note that I'm using this with an Access Project - .adp - which you'll probably need to change to .mdb.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Msaccess.exe" M:\Shareall\Dbases\MGR_ToolBox.adp /runtime

This is documented in a thread here. Post back if you need me to find it for you.



HTH,
Bob
