I'm assuming that you copied the firle from the CD to your hard drive. Files on CD are marked as 'read-only' because standard CD's can't be written (only if CDRW media). That property satys with the file when it's copied to the hard drive.
Locate the .fdb file, right-click on it, select 'Properties' and ensure 'Read-only' is NOT checked. John > Rats-a-frats! > > I have a file from the late Lill Ann Parry dated 8/17/2002.
