I am trying to Add a New User to a security file in Access 2003 - something which I have done several times in the past. Now I get error "Cannot update.Database or object is read-only". I have checked the permissions and neither the .mdw or the database is read-only. I can amend the data in the database.

Any ideas ?

Has the file moved at all? Sometimes copying from one location to another will alter properties. Check the folder, as well. Verify that your account still had the appropriate permissions.

I suppose you are still using a 97 MDW file, but you are trying to add users with ADO!? If so you need to convert the MDW file to 2000 format.
