Thanks Charlotte... will try that next but I hesitate to assume they are too unknowledgeable.

Hmmn. Are they actually extracting the file or just trying to use it from within the zip? The latter can tell them it's read only. If that's the case, extracting the mdb before trying to import it should work.

Hi Charlotte: I am just sending a zip as an attachment to an email. It should be as simple as to open the destination MDB, save the attachment to a directory, unzip it, open the source MDB and drag and drop. ...but for some reason the new table appears to arrive 'locked'??? Of course you never know what is really happening at the other end.

How are you sending it? If you put it on a CD, it will be normally readonly by default and they have to copy it to their hard drive and set the read-only file attribute to false.

Hi All: I have been sending a single table, in a new MDB, to a client so they can copy it into their MDB. They report that the table is locked and they can not copy it. We have gone through this process a couple of times and I am not sure what is going on. I have just suggested a Make-Table query and hopefully that will solve the problem. Has anyone else ran across this problem before and found a solution or a reason.
