How do I convert my workbook from read only
Right click on the workbook.
Select 'Properties'. Uncheck the 'Read Only' box. -- Kevin Lehrbass www.spreadsheetsolutions4u.com "mkullu" wrote: I was typing this doc and for some reason it got saved as read only. |

How do I convert my workbook from read only
You either saved it as read-only through FileSave AsToolsGeneral Options
Or more likely this is the problem........ Excel stores in Windows\Temp(win98) folder a copy(s) of any file that is open. Sometimes this *.tmp file is not deleted from the Temp folder when you close out Excel(maybe a crash of Excel?) or the file, so Excel thinks it is still open and in use. You can try a re-boot and see if that clears it up. If not, after a re-boot, clear out your Windows\Temp folder. If using WinXP your Temp folder would be under user....... Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp If on a network, re-booting the server may be the only solution other than copying the data to a new workbook.
