Thanks, Kevin but that didn't work. I have been trying to modify using the Modify button in the project manager. Shouldn't that take care of opening the table or database exclusively? I've tried closing the project and re-opening it and immediately trying to modify the database but it still shows that it is read only. Very frustrating! Any other ideas?

>>I was trying to modify a table in my database but couldn't because it was read only. Then I found that all the tables and the dbc itself were also read only. What is going on and how do I fix this?
