Create a Read-Only Database (MS Access)

Note: This process will create a Read-only access database that can be opened through either Microsoft Access, third party query applications and programming languages that can use an Access or JET connection string.

1. Navigate to C:\program Files\FlexiBake2 folder on a computer running Flexibake.
   
   
2. Run the FBROLinker.exe application.
   
   
3. Select Browse and navigate to your Flexibake Database (.FBE file)
   Note: The database location can be found inside Flexibake by going to the Administration menu, selecting FlexiBake Preferences. The database location will be listed at the top of the General tab. 
   
   
4. Select the database file and then select Open
   
   
5. Select the Link Tables button
   
   
6. Select Yes to the prompt
   
   
7. Select OK to the success prompt
   
   
8. Selected the Close button
   
   A new database labeled with RO followed by your database name will now be created in the database folder. A shortcut will also be created on your desktop.
   
   
   
9. Opening the database via double clicking the file or the desktop shortcut will prompt you with a login requiring a name and password.

Username: FBROUser
Password: FBROUser

 Microsoft Access will now open the read only database to give you access to the tables and data. 

Please Note: Flexibake support can assist with the creation of the read only database, anything beyond that is out of the scope of the support and assistance will not be provided. This includes and is not limited to writing SQL queries, describing table, relationship and data structures, third party query applications and programming languages.
