Is the error 'The file is locked by xxx'?

If so, try re-booting the machine to release the lock. If it is on a
network, try getting other users to close it

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
