Excel talks to windows, too.

If that file is marked as ReadOnly, then excel will respect that.

If the file is on a drive that you only have Readonly access, then excel/windows
knows that, too.

Any chance???

any help on how to change the read only option from an excell spreadshet
would be greatly appreciated. I have been through properties etc and the read
only option is NOT highlighted, so not sure whats going on.
I am trying to create a spreadsheet but am not able to update it and save
because of this read only problem
