"Read Only" shouldn't stop you from opening the file. When it mentions Read
Only, answer "OK" and you should be able to read the file. You should be
able to make changes and then save it as another name.

Greetings:

I am in receipt of an emailed spreadsheet which cannot be opened. The
error message mentions 'read only' properties that are the cause. The sender
emailed the attachment without the 'read only' property. Any guidance in the
solution of this problem would be appreciated.
