Question:
When I try to open a database, following error message appears: "Unable to open the database. Error code 5: Access denied."
Answer:
The error code 5 message pops up when the software is unable to open the database because the files in the database folder are specified as being “read-only”. To solve this, navigate to the path where the database is located, right-click on the database folder and uncheck the option “Read-only”. Confirm that you want to uncheck this option for all files and folders in this database folder.
