If that's the exact wording of the message, then I don't think it's excel
yelling at you. (At least, I don't recall seeing that message.)

Could the developer of the file put some restrictions on when/where/how you can
save?

When I try to save changes in a file, I get a message saying "document not
saved" althought I have tried to save as it in a difference name or
difference directory already but I can not save changes in this file also. At
the begining when i open this file i did not receive any remind box to show
it is a read only file or any others kind of excel file
