Subject Re: Getting a strange rowset is read-only message From Dennis <dphoover@comcast.net> Date Sat, 19 Aug 2023 13:28:39 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Thanks so much Akshat. I will look for the local share option but I didn't really see that option using DBASE driver. It looks like your example may be using an ODBC driver with more options. Unfortunately, I have no access to author computer, any source code, etc. its all been notes I've written as I learn more about the code and DB tables. Super tough. I just don't know why the exact same config on Windows 7 had no issues but on Windows 10 I am getting this rowset is read-only when I add the second computer. thanks again.
