when I double click on the mdb file, it tells me
"The database 'TestA' is read-only"
You won't be able to save changes made to data or object definitions in this database"

Right Click on your file outside MS Access and go in Properties, you will see your file is read only.

In addition to the above...
(1) If you are using a shortcut to open it, do a right-click:Properties on the shortcut, then eyeball Target textbox, and make sure /readonly is not there.
(2) You as the user may not have read-write permissions on the folder that the Access app is located, which would result in it being opened as readonly.
