Hi

Thanks for the reminder as I had forgotten this command.

However, after you mentioned this I went back and checked my server and realized that I had not re-booted it after making this change. Now after the reboot everything is working the way I expect.

If use "Run As Administrator" then the tables open in read/write mode. I do not understand why a member of the Administrator's group has this problem. Does anyone know how to fix this?

>>>Are the tables located locally on the server or on a network? Have you checked the access rights on the folder (if it resides on a network share, what are the access rights of the folder and what are the sharing rights) ?
>>>Some folders (such as the C:\WINDOWS and C:\PROGRAM FILES and C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86) would be generally read-only standard users.
>>>When you launch an application, generally it launches with the access rights of a "standard" user -- even if you are a member of Administrators.
