Help
I am trying to install a copy of my membership records on a new database by fist copying my e-base files on my old computer by utilizing a CD burner, and then reinstall the copied files on my new database.
I have been dragging my complete e-base file and copying it but when I attempt to reinstall the data, I get a message stating that the data is write-protected and unable to be modified. How do I copy my files so that I can reinstall them on the new database. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I'm a little puzzled by your saying
"install a copy of my membership records on a new database".
I will presume that you're just trying to copy the ebase files from
one machine to the other.
When you write files to a CD using a
Windows system, the files get marked as read-only. To make them
read/write, and therefore useful, right-click each file and select
Properties. In the Properties dialog, uncheck the box labeled
Read-Only. You'll have to do that for each of the 29 files in the
ebase file set.
