Critical HELP needed (MRP)

Comment:
I need to solve a problem with our main MRP (Resource Planning program) at the company I work for. Its really critical. Someone at work opened a database file (.dbf) in his Microsoft Access. He didn't change anything but when he closed his Access window, some activity started. So now, our MRP program ( which all employees work with)is giving us "free games" when trying to save, modify or create an item in that database. the error that popups is the following : "Cannot write to a READ-ONLY file" ! I checked all the files properties to make sure that "Read-only" wasn't checked.. Still no success... Anybody can help me out ? Thanks !!!!

It sounds like the access on the database file had gotten changed somehow, such that the last person who edited the file locked it from all other users. Look for a lock file in the same folder where the .dbf file resides.
Good luck.

Try copying the file to a separate directory and renaming it. I'm guessing that the DB is still registered as being 'checked out' by that Access user.
