I have just purchased Beginning Access 2002.

In Chapter 1 on page 30 when I try to follow the instruction "SELECT AUTOFORM FROM THE INSERT MENU" I find that none of the items on the "INSERT MENU" are available.

Investigation shows that the files are read only and i wonder if this is the reason.

If so please let me know how I can correct this.

Hi

Are u running the DB from a CD? If you are that would be the cause of the read only problem. If you have copied it from CD to local disc make sure the read only attribute is not set.
