how do you remove read only from excel file?

's Computer Specifications

I am trying to save excel file to a portable flash drive, and every time I
try to save it a message tells me that the file cannot be saved because it is
read only.
I am using office 2000

A general rule is to not open from or save to any portable media.

Save to your HDD then copy to the flash drive.

Same when opening.

Some people have no problems but..............your choice.
