m trying to save an excel file to a cd rom keep getting a
message saying can't save file it is read only. The file
can however be save to 3 1/2 discettes. Any information
helpful
 
A CD-R (CD Recordable) can only be written to once (once written - it
becomes permenant).
To do the job you want you will need a CD-RW (CD rewritable) which does
the same job except it can be written to as many time as you like. To
wipe 'clean' the CR-RW (ie. get rid of all the data on the CD-RW) you
will need to use the CD writing software mentioned in my last post.
To be honest using a CD-R or CD-RW is not a flexible as a floppy disk
or zip disk as CDs take a while to write to and are mostly used for
backing up files in batch rather than single files.
