Have a look at the attached screenshot. The localshare setting should be true. This is essential for sharing. But apart from that without any code I doubt anyone will be able to help you out. If I have a look at code that I wrote some time ago it takes time to understand it. Maintaining a legacy system that too without code. You deserve credit. There are multiple reasons for a rowset to be read only. One of them could be that some upgrade (which the original owner had not applied) fixed something and that is causing an error. Or may be windows changed something. Damn difficult to say. By any chance do you have any access to original author's computer. The source code files may be hidden somewhere. Regards Akshat
