I would try to find another way of saving it to CD because
files saved to a read only CD can be copied back to your
hard drive and used with out having to unprotect them. At
least the program I use..
-----Original Message-----
I already have saved to HD and gone through step to
uncheck read-only and the
result is always the same read-only file after saving to
CD-R. I don't care
how I do it or what kind of disk I save it on, but I
need to save it to
something that allows it to be functional (size=5,406KB).
Thanks for your
time.

Try copying it to your HD,
THEN, right click it in Windows Explorer,
Choose "Properties",
Find where "Attributes" resides in your Windows version
(General Tab ?)
And *UNCHECK* "Read Only".

Most XL files burned to CDs will automatically acquire
the "ReadOnly"
attribute.

Thanks so much for the response. Yes, It is a CD-R.
Forgive me for being
ignorant, but what kind of disk do I need to save my
workbook? It does save
to it, but like I said it becomes read-only which is
useless to me. It is a
really large file so I can't save it to any floppy that
I have.

Is it a CD-R, not re-writable? I don't think Excel
(certainly not in my
versions) supports direct writing to a CD.

Every time I save a workbook, it becomes read-only
on the CD. I cannot
change
its attrributes because it falshes an "access
denied" when I try. How am
I
supposed to save my workbooks to CD so that I can
work with them on
other
computers?
