I dont know if the read only status is causing problem or the indeterminate
status is causing problems?
However I do know that some of my programs that modify a database within
some folders give me an error message that the database or object is read
only.
I have checked the file of database, which saya it is not read only (the box
is clear).
Further How do i correct the indeterminate status?

Please help.

Read only changes the behaviour of a directory not at all. Not even a little
bit.
