read only

I have a Access 2003 table that is loaded with a VBA that works on
1 of my WINXP systems but not the other. It seems the 1 system
says the DB is read only but I can't see how to change it. The system
that doesn't work was given to me already loaded. I can copy the .mdb
to my other system and it works fine. Any ideas???

Thanks.....

Do you have full permissions on the folder where the MDB file exists on the
machine where it doesn't work?

When the second computer says the DB is read only, is that all it says or does it also say something about the user's permissions. Check the permissions on the file and make sure that that user has the necessary ones.
