Neither. It is a problem in where you store your data. If you store the application's tables in the program directory, or a subdirectory of it, those tables are read-only because the user does not have write permissions in that folder. You must store the data somewhere else. This is even worse in Vista where even administrators cannot write to files in Program Files.
