When connecting to an xls, mdb, or accdb file, you can select whether the connected database is opened with read-only permissions or whether it can be edited.

If you select the "Connect to original file and allow editing." mode, formats and macros of the original file may be removed. To prevent this, we recommend you to select the "Create a copy that can be edited" mode.
