I have a new version of Access 2003 and transferred my Access 97 files. 3
macros will not work in 2003. 2 of these relate to the Export Word for
Windows Merge transfer text macro. Each time I run this I receive a message
'Cannot update. Database or object is read-only. However, the database is
updatable, is opened in edit and all permissions appear to be in operation.
The database itself appears to be set up correctly. I set up a new database
but with the same result. This system worked without any problem in Access97.
Has anyone encountered similar problems? Whilst I can achieve the result
manually I would prefer to automate the updating of data to Word.
