Default Turn off Read-Only

I had a transferspreadsheet coming from Access and it all of a sudden quit
working. In looking at the spreadsheet it appears that it is read-only. How
do I remove that from my spreadsheet and why is it suddenly there?

Default Turn off Read-Only

This is sometimes (usually?) attributable to the windows temp directory.

Empty out that directory, and then reboot your PC.
