Access 2007 Read-only attribute remove


To clear the Read-only attribute assigned to Microsoft Office Access 2007 database so that you can enter data in the tables.

Clint, I suggest that you perform the steps provided below to clear the Read-only attribute of databases:

  1. Click on “Start” button.
  2. Click on “My Computer”.
  3. Locate the Microsoft Access database that you are facing the issue with.
  4. Right-click on the database name, and then click on “Properties.”
  5. In the “Properties” dialog box, clear the “Read-only” check box under “Attributes.”
  6. Click OK to apply the change.

Now you may open the Microsoft Access database without the message appearing again.
