Read Only

I'm a novice using Access and I have a problem. I have set up a DB to update and contol normal Quality Control functions Document tracking, ect. I have used a macro(RunApp)in my Switch Board to open a Binder file that contains procedures.(and it have been working fine). But the now the file open as it should but in a read only format. I have checked all the property settings in Word, Excel, Binders and Access and none of them are set to read only. It went from working fine in full edit mode to Read Only. There is no password or security on the DB. Only 2 people use it. The files reside on a server that has full share.
