An option that would help in this regard (not in remembering to do it, though!) would be to have an "Open read only" command/facility. Access has this. In the Open dialog box, adjacent to the Open button is a drop-down that includes "Open read-only" and "Open exclusive".
This would get around the problem of folks not being able to change the file attributes, be quite a bit quicker, and eliminate the issue of forgetting to change the file attributes back. > -----Original Message----- > From: Bagotronix Tech Support > Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 7:47 AM > > Thanks to all the folks who suggested setting the "read-only" file > attribute.
