I created an Excel spreadsheet and saved it to a network drive. When other
people edit the spreadsheet and try to save it they get a message saying the
file is set as read only. They are directed to save the file as another name.
The save dialog box comes up and saves the file as a "copy of" the original.
If you right click on the file and go to properties the read only attribute
is not selected. Why does this keep happening?
 
that behaviour would occur if someone else had the workbook open at th
time the user opened the file (and it is not a shared workbook
