Default Access 2007 this database has been opened read only

Have a small Access DB that was designed in 2007. Standard xxxx.accdb
file on a server. Has been working fine for several months. All of
the sudden last week it is opening with the "This database has been
opened read-only. You can only change data in linked tables, To make
changes, save a copy of the database." line under the standard
toolbars. The database will not let me add data or change any
"design" criteria in the file. If I try to save a file it tells me
the folder is marked read only.... I have full admin access to the
folder so I am not sure whatthat is about.

One other person who has access to the file seems to be having no
issues, and web users who input data seem to be able to add data
fine.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
