To change read only, go into Windows explorer, right click on the file name,
click on <Properties and click Attributes/read-only on/off as appropriate.

To change shared, click on <Save as<Tools<Properties<Sharing

I have created a workbook and set it up as "shared". I have completed it
and
sent it to another user who cannot open it as it is "read only" and he
needs
to be able to add/amend it.

I have gone into properties and the box "read only" is NOT checked.

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks
