I am using an access database with my program, i emailed my program to a friend yesterday to see if it would run on his computer, like me he has the professional edition. The program ran fine on his computer, although the forms weren't centered due to the resolution. My problem was I put the program on a CD took it home and loaded it in my computer at home, which also has the professional edition and it wouldn't work. I got an error saying(sorry don't remember exact words)that it couldn't access the database, that it was read only, and that the the programmer set it's administrative settings that way and they would need to be changed. Any ideas why it worked on my friends computer, but not mine? And any ideas what to do about the settings? And while we at it, could someone go over once again the code to set the child forms to open centered in the MDI parent, regardless of resolution settings?

Thanks!
