The only things I can spot are the two name changes and as long as they reflect what's on disk you should be OK. You're using the default logon so you should have full access, but at this stage I'd start checking just to make sure that this hasn't accidentally been altered and you no longer have the privileges you think you have. If its not to big / confidential the only other thing I can suggest is post / email the lot and let me have a shuftie. On the positive side people have been asking for a read only version so if you can sus this you could be on a nice little earner ![]() Roy Lambert [Team Elevate] |

No problems at all - the data only contains test data at the moment, and have posted the database up on the binary forums. I have to head off overseas shortly though, so if I stop replying to the posts, it's not becaues I'm being rude. ![]() > On the positive side people have been asking for a read only version so if > you can sus this you could be on a nice little earner ![]() I love a bloke who can see the silver lining! ![]() Cheers Adam. |

I can usually find > the solution to this type of problem pretty quickly that way. Thanks for the offer. I have a dodgy internet connection at work at the moment (which unfortunately has killed VOIP) and it's my last day before I fly out of the country, so I might wait until I come back in a couple of weeks (if we haven't been able to determine the problem before then). > It's got me beat as to why they're read only.

Basically the same as DBISam then, so it's not that. I have placed a copy of the database on the binaries newsgroup per Roy's request. Everything appears to be right for me. Off the top of my head we've tried: Right-clicking EDBMGR.exe and choosing 'Run as Administrator' (in Vista) Tried on various drives Tried on various computers (both Windows XP and Vista) Tried over network, and on local HDD's. Checked the Priveledges on the database (as best as I know how)... .... and can't get it to allow us to edit the tables. (We're using EDBMgr 1.09 Build 4). The only machine we can alter the tables on is the original development machine. Hopefully you're able to find something in there I've done wrong... Cheers Adam. |

Some good news, some bad news. Well I can now confirm the read only nature of the database, and can find no reason for it (Tim probably can but not me). The good news is that what you can do is reverse engineer it including the data, and run that script to create editable tables. Roy Lambert |

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I got a little swamped on support issues toward the latter part of the week. << No problems at all - the data only contains test data at the moment, and have posted the database up on the binary forums. >> The database, by itself, is perfectly editable here. What I did was extract your database into a specific directory, and then add a new database that uses this directory as its path using CREATE DATABASE. I used an existing configuration. More than likely the issue that you're experiencing is this one: http://www.elevatesoft.com/incident?action=viewrep&category=edb&release=2.02&type=f&incident=2968 And, this would still be present as a bug in 1.09, of course. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

"Adam H." | Good Morning Tim and Roy,
Thanks for your replies and sorry for the late response. (I've been sunning myself in Vanuatu doing some very nice Diving on a WWII wreck!) ![]() I'll look at reverse engineering the database to correct the current problem, but was wondering - is there any possibility thta this will be fixed in a later version of EDB 1.x, or will I need to upgrade to EDB 2 to stop this from occurring again?
