Some PC backup utilities (including Phillips Write2CD Backup) mark files as “Read Only” if they’re being backed up to a CD or CD-RW. Unfortunately, this prevents the database from being used when it’s copied back from the CD. If you’ve restored from a CD and you’re having trouble getting your database to open, right-click on the database file, choose Properties, then uncheck “Read Only”. The next time you launch ComicBase, the database should open properly. ComicBase 6.0.3 (and later) handle this issue automatically.
