hi all

I have three of many excel spread sheet files that I use and update daily
that I can no longer access not even copy, move or Attached so I can send
them via email . I tried to access these files and I get the
following message: "Cannot access read only document "file-name"". I am on
Excel 2000 and Windows 2000 pro. I have checked out the properties on all
files. None of them have the "read only" box ticked and there is only the
General
Tab. Also, there is no longer an author for these three files. All the rest
that can be accessed have an author, normal attribute, and have General,
Custom, Summary tabs. I do not recall doing anything different. I ran a
virus scan on the files with no viruses indicated. Can anybody help me? I
tried my last backup file but the backup file have the same problems.
Please help
