Default Opens as Read Only

Lots of software that writes to the CD/DVD disk will write the file as
ReadOnly. You could open file explorer and look at the attributes for that file
(on the CD/DVD) to verify.

I expect that whatever you're using is doing that.

Read only problem. Created workbook has been saved on a hard drive, floppy

File can be opened worked on and saved from hard drive and floppy drive.
When the file is opened from the cd/dvdrw drive it always opens as a read
only file.
Protection is all off and the read only box is not checked.

Help please....................
