I am trying to chnage the file attribute from "READ ONLY" so that I will make
changes. How can I do it? I keep getting an error message
 
Right click on the file and under 'properties' ....general tab....attributes
uncheck the 'read only' box.
 
Good Morning Tim


Idid that befor I sent my sos for help. After unchecking the Read Only box,
I clicked "APPLY" then OK but when I try makingthechange thatI want, I getthe
"read only" message again.
 
Is this a shared excel spreadsheet? If someone else has it open on their
computer you might only be able to access it 'read only'

This file was copied from an Excel Training CD that came with EXCEL 2003
Bible by Walkenbach.
 
Just a thought, you "can't" change the attribute of the file on the CD, if
you copy the file to your HardDrive, you should be able to change and save it
there.

Vaya con Dios,
