I have posted an Excel report on my website that I want
others to be able to open, edit and safe the changes.
Anytime I try to save changes made to the report, it tells
me I can't as the file was opened as a Read-Only. How can
I change this to allow others to edit the file?

Thanks in advance.

Check the "Add Interactivity" box in the Save As Web Page
dialog box in Excel.
 
You can't. You can not open a file on the web and then save it back to the
web, this would be a big security risk, as well as the fact user would be
overwriting each others changes. You will need to be hosted on a Windows IIS
server, and then use ASP and Access to accomplish. Excel file format is for
a single user and Access file format supports multi-users. On the internet
you are only working with the file formats, not the actual applications.
