[Dxbase] XP and READ ONLY

Sat Jun 19 23:07:34 EDT 2004

Ok, now I understand what you meant.
I back up to CDRW so I don't have that problem.
I know XP will allow you to set the attribute correctly as I do it frequently.
So I suspect you may have some sort of writing software glitch.

Subject: [Dxbase] XP and READ ONLY
Since several replied to this I better put my comment back on the reflector. I've been
backing up my database to a CD using my writer. Be assured that on WIN98 SE you can very
easily update a new installation to your current log from a CD. Yes - the files will be
read only but in WIN98 you can REMOVE the READ ONLY attributes. Actually I normally just
go to the DOS prompt and do it very quickly. My question is why can't I change the READ
ONLY ATTRIBUTE when I right click on properties on the DXB2005 folder? The attribute
shows that it removes but it lies. Hope I'm not confusing everybody and if any body knows
how to change the read only attribute the inf would be much appreciated.
 Thanks, Sandy W4DUP
