By setting the file attribute to read-only, the "read-only" warning appears. Is there a possibility to disable this warning? (I have a MS Access Tool unsed by several people. It is only the front end with querries and modules, the data is on a sql server. As many have access to the tool, I set the attribute to read-only)

The prompt window is not able to be turned off My suggestion is to advise the users to copy or save the file or files in question into a personal folder where they can remove the "Read Only' property and continue on from there.
