Read-Only

[Nicki]

My excel spreadsheet will only let me "read-only." It
says that my document is currently opened by -- me. It's
not open, I've restarted my computer and no one in the
office has the document open.

How do I remove the Read-only so I can have full access?
Thanks for your help!

If the file is on a disk, make sure the protection slider is covering the little window at the top right of the disk. Otherwise, find the file in windows explorer, right click and go to properties. At the bottom of the box that appears are the "Attributes", one of which is "Read Only". Make sure this box is not checked.

I don't know if this will work or not, it sounds like your problem is likely something else, but its worth a shot if you haven't tried already.

In the Excel FAQs, there are a couple of suggestions for fixing this
problem:
