Read Only Problem w/old program

12 years ago

Until recently I had no trouble opening a file in an old Program, My MailList and address book and making changes, printing etc.

Yesterday when I went to open this file, I got the message:

"The database file cannot be opened in exclusive mode. Either it is all ready opened in another program or is marked as Read Only."

I know it is not opened in another program as this is the only program that the file can be opened in. I double checked the attributes and no where is it marked as Read Only. This same message comes up when I tried to open it on the back up flash drive.

I'm at wits end and hope someone can give me an idea of what else to try.

I do have a hard copy of the list.

Thanks
