Hi,
If you use linux, you could change the attributes to rw--
rw--rw . also dos attrib can do this. But if the cells are=20
cell protected, set your security to high, close excel=20
open again and macros etc are disabled.
This might help, if not then doh!

In a book I have bought recently there is included a=20
Excel Spreadsheet
that is free to use. It can be easily opened and used=20
with Excel and I=20
have tried this out at a friend.
Now I do not use Excel as I use OpenOffice, which can=20
read normally all=20
Excel sheets.
However I cannot open this Excel document with my Open=20
Office as
some cells within the document are overwriting protected=20
which makes=20
that Open Office cannot open this.
Can anybody in the community remove the cell protection=20
of the this file=20
and send the file back to me.
This is nothing illegeal, as the file has been included=20
for free use,
the protection has been done only to protect the users=20
from alterating=20
the complicated formulas within the file.
I have spoken to the editor, they told me that they would=20
help me=20
however the person who has made it has left the company.
I anybody could help me, please write directly to me:
I would send you by mail this simple file and you could=20
return it to me.
I hope that there is sombody who is familiar whith such=20
things, I am=20
not, I have this case first time and it would not make=20
much use for me=20
to investigate much time or effort in this.
Thanks a lot,
