right click on the file in explorer & deselect the read only box.
If this doesn't work, then open the file & save it again with a new name

I have backed up my file to a floopy disket and one file will open ok and
the
other one it said can not be accessed , this file may be as a read only or
you may be trying to access a read only location.
How can I get my file back to a normal operation?
thanks in advance
