Try manually changing " properties" settings for your files (Explorer on
Windows systems) before running your application.

Subject: MI ReadOnly flag
Dear senior programmers,
I have a minor problem that has puzzled me for some time.
I am working on with a MapBasic program to change projection settings of a
set of files. So far so good, but some exiting files have been set to
ReadOnly, so the application cannot replace the existing ones. I have tried
to Commit, Drop and Kill..(It isn't possible to get the MetaData key visible
either); even the Api function DeleteFile() will result #5, "Access is
Denied" error.
So my brief question: Is it possible to change Security settings of a file
to get rid of ReadOnly flag or get the ReadOnly file killed other way.
Thanks,
Anssi Joutsiniemi
