Excel files opening in "read only"
Hi there,
I have excel files that have been doing just fine either letting me make changes or giving me the option of opening in read only or not. Now, just the last 2 days, some (not all) of my files will not allow me to make changes without saving as a copy, which gets confusing. What has changed or what should I check to resolve this situation? I checked the properties and read only is NOT checked. How can I get back to where I'm given the option to open as read only or not? -- Rich D Armstrong Custom Homes Redmond |

Excel files opening in "read only"
Try clearing out your Windows\Temp folder and your TIF folders.
