I have no idea.

It must be the way the database is opened. Any Rebel database is always
opened with the "rb+" attribute. Perhaps your cdrom driver does not
allow the "+" which allows writing.

Any programmers here with more knowledge?

For the moment I would advice you to copy the database to your hard
disk. Perhaps it's also needed to remove the 'read only' attribute.
Example: ATTRIB -R *.*

I haven't heard of this problem before. Any data from cdrom can be
loaded within Rebel9. Whenever Rebel9 notices a cdrom file is loaded
the program automatically set all 'write commands' to the file OFF in
the pulldown menus to avoid you will write to the cdrom. But loading
a file should be no problem.
