Default Excel document incorrectly applying read-only

Hi

I have an excel document that needs to be modified by any user. When the
doucment is opened on other computers it is incorrectly defaulting to read
only.

I have check the following areas and all have the following settings
Excel
Tools Protection - none applied
Tools Options Security - none applied
File Permissions - unrestricced access

Explorer
r/m/c on document
Properties General Attributes - none applied (I tried to set for read-only
applied, then unticked read-only, apply - still opens on other computers as
read-only)
Properties Security - Permissions for everyone = Full Control

I have obviosly applied something? somewhere? that is forcing the
"Read-Only" properties for other users.

Any suggestions welcome

thanks
Sue
