Default Read Only_Protected Workbook?


We have a multisheet workbook that is created from a proprietary report
writer. At the file level, the workbook does not have Read Only
checkmarked. However all of the boxes are greyed out. Under the
Tools_Protection menu the workbook does not appear to be protected.

The problem is: we cannot change any of the data and we wanted to be
able to analyze it further in Excel. When we try to change something
we get an error message telling us we can't make changes because the
the cell is protected and therefore read-only. But we can't unprotect
it?

Any help is appreciated
