I set up a database with a switchboard. When I opened the DB again and
tried
to change an item (actually delete an item) on the switchboard, I'm told
that
it's read only. I don't recall setting any locks on it, and I can't find
out
how to unlock it. Any suggestions? I'm using Access 2003 with Win XP.

Do you (and all users) have modify permissions on the folder where the mdb
is located? You should also split the database; leave the backend on the
server, and give each user a copy of the frontend on their computers.

Also, at work, since installing a new computer, I'm plagued with security
questions as I try to open a database from the server. I respond with YES
to
the first question, the I get a larger window with explanation to which I
reply NO, then I get the macro question. I know how to handle that, but
the
other two elude me. Any suggestions for that?

It's rather difficult to respond without knowing what the 'security
questions' are. You may find that resolved when you change the windows
permissions on the folder. If not, then please post the text of those
messages.
