Could be that there's an open copy currently on the network somewhere, and
since the file is not a shared workbook all subsequent attempts to open the
file present the ser with a read only version the file.

You can make the file shared by clicking TOOLS/SHARE WORKBOOK and clicking
the ALLOW CHANGES... checkbox.
