To change values and add new values to a dbf-file, I connect to the dbf and use the ITable interface to make the edits. At the end I release the COM-objects of the table and the workspace. But when I try to open the changed file, it says the file is read-only. Did I forget to release something else? Or is there another reason for the read-only status?
Thanks and regards

As to my knowledge and personal experience, this is a general issue when opening files in ArcMap/ArcCatalog or by means of ArcObjects. The lock on those files doesn't get released when they are no longer used in the application. Only closing all ArcGIS applications solves that problem. That behavior is widely known and it's frustrating.
