    I have a basic VB app that reads from a MDB file using DAO. This works fine - until I write the whole lot to CD (where the MDB becomes read only). I then get nasty errors beacuse the MDB is read only. I'm not doing any writing of Data to the MDB - only reading. Does anyone know a solution to this?

    When connecting to a MSAccess database using VB, an .LDB file is created in the database directory. Check out this article from Microsoft.
