Tips, don't ever work on a cd, floppy etc unless you want to end up with a
corrupt workbook,
use these for moving files, then copy to hd, work, then put back on
removable media. Excel creates a lot of tmp files
in tmp directories and then deletes them. This usually gets screwed up when
working on a CD etc.

If after moving/copying the file to your hard drive it says "read only",
right-click on the file (without opening it), choose Properties and uncheck
"Read Only". It's best to work on a file that is on your hard drive rather
than a CD-RW.
