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

U might wonna check out the part of the code which actually opens the database it could have something to do with that, if yer using ODBC to access it, check if you use correct open statement.
No other ideas poped up in my head if they will i'll sure let you know.
