editing and saving worksheet
I create a spreadsheet and save it. When another user opens the file and
makes changes they cannot save under the same name. They have to save as "copy of." What do I need to change so that they can make changes and save under the same name in the same directory? |

Sounds like the workbook has been saved as a "read-only recommended" file.
Have a look at FileSave AsToolsGeneral Options and clear that checkbox and re-save. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Fri, 28 Sep 2007 14:31:01 -0700, rmold524 wrote: I create a spreadsheet and save it.

I checked this and the file was not saved as a read only. Also when you or
someone else opens the file it did not state the file was a read only and that you could not make changes to it. Any other suggestions?

What are the permissions on the folder the file resides in?

From what I can tell there are none. No restricted or unrestricted. Does
this help? "Bob I" wrote: What are the permissions on the folder the file resides in? rmold524 wrote: I checked this and the file was not saved as a read only.

I go to the File tab and there is no Persmission tab under it. In other
searches the spreadsheet does not appear to be protected/restricted in any way. Is there another area to look for the Permission tab? Or anything?

I did a right click on the icon and went the to the security tab. Here I
gave all users full access and this allows users to make changes and then save under the same name. Thanks.
