 * Microsoft FoxBASE+ for Macintosh 2.01

-



This article was previously published under Q99597



SYMPTOMS
If you do not have read and write privileges to the drive where the program (.PRG or .FMT), report/label (.FRX), or form (.SCX) file is being accessed, FoxBASE+/Mac generates the error message

Cannot write to a read-only file.

NOTE: The setting of EXCLUSIVE (either ON or OFF) does not affect this error.



CAUSE
FoxBASE+/Mac requires both read and write privileges to view a file because FoxBASE+/Mac changes a bit in the header of the file for network-handling purposes.



RESOLUTION
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxBASE+/Mac version 2.01. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
