    File is Read Only?

    I have an excel file I created on my companies network drive. I have other employees open this spreadsheet and fill in information. When they try to save the file they get a message that's it's a read only file. I do not have read only checked on this file. Here's a screen shot of the message.

    ReadOnlyMessage.xlsx

    Thanks for your help in advance

    Desertdude,

    I'd recommend checking with your network or server administrator to see if you do in fact have the necessary permissions to delete/modify in the shared network drive, and if so, have them check to see if there is a lock on the file from another user. Perhaps another user had it opened, Excel crashed and the lock wasn't released properly.
