We have started distributing files on a CD-R but have a problem.

As the CD-R is closed to make it readable on standard drives, all the
files get set to 'Read-Only'.  when they are copied to a hard drive the
read-only attributes remain.

I have chucked all my old DOS manuals, but am sure there is a DOS
command line to reset these attributes.  Anyone remember?

Better still, is it possible to reset this from within MS Access?

Many thanks
