Copying files from floppy to disk
I try to copy/write excel files from a 3 1/2 floppy to disk and when i open
the file on disk it is "read"only. I want to be able to woke with these files and save changes. The 3 1/2 floppy files are not "read" only. What am I doing wrong. Jerry |

Copying files from floppy to disk
Have you tried going into Windows Explorer, selecting one of these files and
unchecking the read-only attribute?

Copying files from floppy to disk
If you use the Command window, use of XCOPY does not
change the read only bit, so if as you say it is not set on your removable media it will remain that way using XCOPY. That is how I do my backups, and to restore a file.
