Why is file suddenly "Read Only"?
I cannot save my workbook because the file status
is suddenly showing as "Read Only". Are there any settings in Excel 2007 which might cause a workbook to become "Read Only"??? I login to my personal account every day, after which I shut down all applications and log out. Therefore, I'm somewhat positive that I'm not logged in twice. If it is possible that another user, such as the network administrator or a boss, has the file open, is there a way to see who currently has the file open?? Any clues as to what is going on here? Thank you! |

Thank you! Robert, I occasionally see this intermittent error in WORD but never, yet, in EXCEL. |

Why is file suddenly "Read Only"?
Do you get a message that the workbook is already opened by yourself and is
read-only? Usual cause................... When you open a workbook in Excel a temporary copy is created. Closing the workbook should also close the temp file. Sometimes this does not happen and the temp file remains behind. A reboot generally clears the temp file.
