Read Only file
I have a user that when he opens an excel file, it opens as Read Only. He
has full permissions to the file and directory. When I log in with his account on a different workstations, and try to open the file, it opens normally and changes can be made. It is only on his workstation that the file opens as Read Only. Background: He logs in to an NT 4 domain and the network share is in an AD domain, with a two way trust between them. His workstation is running XP Pro and so are the other workstations we tested with. We are running Office (Excel) 2003 Pro. I have rebooted, etc. Any ideas???? |

Read Only file
I would have that user try to open a test file using notepad. (Maybe you could
create it when you're logged on???). Then have the user try to save the file. I bet that you only think that the user has write access to that drive. Excel is smart enough to know that if the user can't save to a drive that the file must be opened readonly. Randy S wrote: I have a user that when he opens an excel file, it opens as Read Only.
