Chris, Just having a quick look at one of my own workspaces, at the bottom of your layer information, you should find a line that looks something like this:
Set Map Layer 2 Editable Remove that line, save it and with any luck, it will work. Regards, Mark.

There appear to be two main reasons why this is happeningL 1) The old classic problems with the directory structures, drive letters being different (which I have managed to solve) and 2) it appears the layer in the workspace that is set to editable is now read-only and I get the following error "(e:\trak_maps\maps\rideau_system\trak sf to ottawa 7 and 9.wor:1411) Layer is read-only and not editable" So my question to you fine MapInfoers is this "If I open the workspace in Notepad, where can I find out which layer is set to editable?" There are 72 tables in this file so searching manualy without any direction would just take too long!
