Error 3027: cannot update: database or object is read only

Hi there,

Allthough I searched for previous posts, I was unable to solve my problem.

I try to link my front-mdb with an Excel file using the next line
DoCmd.TransferS preadsheet acLink, 8, "TblParameters" ,
"C:\Parameters. xls", True, ""

This works perfect for Access 2000, while for Access 2002 and Access
2003 I get error message 3027: cannot update: database or object is read
only.
The file is linked (fields can be read), but I'm unable to update any
fields.

And of course, I checked that this problem was not related to read-only
attribute, administrator rigths, etc.

Who has any suggestions to solve this?

TIA, Paul

Unfortunately, it's not letting me update the data: I'm getting an error saying the data is read only. The same query statement, when...
