on network, pc a & pc b share pc x only open [read only]
On our network a new pc (pc x) was installed. Now pc x opens all MS .xls
files as [read only], even files created and originally saved while working on pc x. In: File, Properties, General [read only] is not checked. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? |

If you copied files to a CD-R using Microsoft Windows utilities you probably
turned on the Read only flag on the files on the CD. The Command form (DOS command) XCOPY will not do that. To fix the problem select your c: drive and change properties by turning on Read only, then turning it off, it should affect all subdirectories if you tell it to. http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel...p.htm#readonly --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "ipcvb" wrote in message ...
