Read Only

[frenk888]

Hi;

I have a sever which has two hard disks, one of them was accidently
formatted, I used software to recovery all data. I found some problem
with excel file, when I opened it, it can only use "read only" to open
the file, ( the read only attribute was not checked)
Even I created a new excel file, It will turn up to "read only" next
time.

My server is using windows 2000, my pc is using Windows XP, those files
were shared in a folder.

Could anyone please tell me what's happened?

Have you tried File-->Save as and using Tools-->General options from the
dialog to see if it's read-only there?

Debra Dalgleish has an answer to a FAQ at:
http://contextures.com/xlfaqApp.html#ReadOnly
that describes this problem with a single pc (workbook not on a server).

With the file on the server, I've seen where rebooting that server can sometimes
help.
