I am trying to save an excel file to a CD and it keeps changing the file to
READ ONLY. I don't want it as read only since I want to be able to make
changes on another computer as I am giving up the file to another person.
 
Steve, I think anytime you put a file on a CD it becomes read only, when you
put the file on the other computer right click on it and select properties
uncheck read only

and how are you going to write to it on a CDROM?

You could try transferring it on a CDR/W or on a memory stick
You could train the recipient to copy the file and change the read only
attribute
You could supply a batch file to do the copy and change the read only
attribute, if you knew the destination directory.
