Default How do I clear read-only status on a workbook file?

Here's my dilemma...

I have an Excel workbook file that is located in my network places on our
server at work. I can access the file and make changes; however, when I go
to save it under a different file name, I keep getting an error message
stating that the folder is marked as read only. When I right click the file
and go to properties, the attributes area is greyed out, but I can see that
the read only box is not selected. Is there somewhere else I can look or
could this possibly be a server issue?

Can someone please help me out? Thanks!!!

It may take an LAN Administrator to set the properties on the folder to read
& write. Doesn't sound like its the Excel file but the folder that's your
problem.
