Hi,
One of my file is opening as Read Only, for me and everyone, even after I closed the file. How can I sort out this? -Dileep |

File Says Read Only Even After Closing It
Try closing the file, then press 'file open' so that you can see the file
icon, then right click it and select properties, un-check the 'Read-Only' tick box and click apply. then try re-opening the file. Or open the file as 'read-only' and 'save as' another file name?

File Says Read Only Even After Closing It
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.
