Read only setting is resetting to read only

[rick]

I have a number of Excel files that I want to write to a RW disk so I can
have someone else edit them. I keep running into the problem of read only
being reset to ON even though I go through and reset it OFF. I have checked
the Excel settings and they are OFF with no password req, The office settings
are set so the the documents can be shared but I can't solve the Read only
problem. This can't be a new hole, if anyone has the work around I would
love to hear about it

Yes I am but even when I go back to my hard drive and look at files I plan to
copy to my RW disk the settings they still show the green square lit on read
only, it is not checked but it is lit.

I'm not real clear about how you do your work but you should ALWAYS copy the
file from the CD-RW to your hard disk, change the attribute, edit that file,
then copy it back to the CD-RW. It will automatically become a CD-RW when
you do that. It's supposed to.
