An application cannot edit database files.
RESOLUTION
Mark the database as excluded in the project file by selecting the
database, then choosing Exclude from the Project menu. Rebuild the project
and the application. Distribute the database .DBF and .FPT files to the end
users with the application.
If a database is included in a project, it is marked read-only unless it is
explicitly excluded.
