I have tried that and I can make changes and save to C: drive but when I go
to change the saved workbook it won't let without changing the name. But
then the new file is read only.
I think you answered that it is something with MS office files.

Office application do not like documents on removable drives. Copy
workbook
to harddrive before working on it. Or in place of a CD/R, use a USB thumb
drive - removable yes, but Excel does not seem to care.

I am putting excel files on a R/W cd. When I open the file and make some
changes I cannot save it because it says it is read only. I cannot save
a
non-read only file to a CD without it changing to read only.
How do I correct for that
