[AccessD] Read-Only error message opening database

Hi Terry - and welcome to the list!

Adding to the comments of Charlotte and John, I find it strange that
you didn't receive this message when opening the Access 97 database -
unless you ran that as a runtime? If so that should work for Access
2000 as well.
And, as Charlotte states, the changes that will not be save are design
changes not the data.

Another option could be to convert the database to an mde but other
listers may chime in here as I have never had the need for an mde
running other than for some tests.
