Sharing files

[Brad]

I have 3 limited users on my computer. I have a shared
documents folder under my documents & settings/all users
folder. All users can see these files. however, when a
file is opened it is read-only except for the creator. i
would like the files to be available (not read-only) for
all users. i have set the properties of the folder to
clear read-only but each time i open the properties
again, it still says read only. Does anyone have any
ideas on what i have done wrong? I am using XP Pro.
Thanks.

Good question and I should have indicated that I have.

Now when i open a file under any other user Excel has
across the top: the file name [read only] [shared].

Should have been clearer. yes. now when i open the file
under a different user it reads at the top of excel:
filename [read only] [shared]

Try changing the properties of the individual workbook.

Go to *Windows Explorer* and right click on the WB name, and change the
properties in that window.
