Hi, everybody!

We build a client-server aplication, with Sybase
SQL Anywhere 5.0 in Back-End and VB5 in Front-End.
The code has been generate by a CASE tool - PowerDesigner,
from the DataModel we've created.

Now, we start having this very strange situation:
the application runs OK from the PC that has been generated
both the Database and the VB application but if we run the
application from another machine, we cannot update records,
instead we got this error message:

Can't update. Database or object is read-only. (Error 3027)

This is what I found in jeterr35.hlp file for this error:

"You tried to save changes in a database that was opened for read-only access.
The database is read-only for one of these reasons:

· You used the OpenDatabase method and opened the
database for read-only access.
· In Visual Basic, you are using the Data control,
and you set the ReadOnly property to True.
· The database file is defined as read-only in the
operating system or by your network.
· The database file is stored on read-only media.
· In a network environment, you don't have write
privileges for the database file.
· When working with a secured database, the database
or one of its objects (such as a field or table) may be set
to read-only. You may not have permission to access this
data with your user name and password."

But none of this possible reasons aplies to the real situation we've got.

Also, on the PC where the application runs, sometimes we got
a 'Data conversion' error while trying to update a record,
with no visible reason for having'it.

We are in a verry big rush, actualy we have to solve the
problem by monday, so if anyone have a hint in that, please
help!

Thanks a lot,

Daniela


Close the database, resolve the read-only condition, and then reopen the file for read/write access.
