I did exactly what you said and tried to save the file from the hard drive
saved version to the CD with windows explorer using the copy comand. I was
given the mesage that the folders on the cd were read only folders and it
would not save the file to the cd. So I tried to save the file into no
folder on the cd and was given the same response read only it won't save
the
file to the cd.

You don't save the file back to the CD either. Copy the file from the
disk
to your hard drive. Work on it. Save it to your hard drive. Write (or
rewrite) to the CD with whatever software you are accustomed to using.

Good morning JoAnn I took your advice and took the disk to another
computer
and using Explorer copied a file to the hard drive, edited it on the
hard
drive and renamed and saved it to the hard drive. Yeehaw I was able to
edit
the file and save it. I then tried to save the new file to the RW CD
and
was given the message that it could not save the file on the CD because
the
folders on the CD were read only folders. So I figured maybe I should
just
save it on the CD in no folder but it gave me the same response, I
however
am
making progress, which is a good thing.

:

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.

I
plan

copy to my RW disk the settings they still show the green square lit
on
read

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

JoAnn maybe we should just start over and you could spell out how I should do
what I am trying to do from the start the right way.
What I am trying to do.
1. Copy excell file01 from computer A on to a CD
2. Take file01 and copy it from CD into computer B and edit the file.
3. Save file 01 as 02 on Computor B Hard Drive
3. Copy the file as 02 from computor B onto a CD
4. Copy file 02 from CD onto Computor A

1. Are you sure it's a CD-RW?

2. Which CD burning software program are you using?

I did exactly what you said and tried to save the file from the hard drive
saved version to the CD with windows explorer using the copy comand. I was
given the mesage that the folders on the cd were read only folders and it
would not save the file to the cd. So I tried to save the file into no
folder on the cd and was given the same response read only it won't save
the
file to the cd.

:

You don't save the file back to the CD either. Copy the file from the
disk
to your hard drive. Work on it. Save it to your hard drive. Write (or
rewrite) to the CD with whatever software you are accustomed to using.

Good morning JoAnn I took your advice and took the disk to another
computer
and using Explorer copied a file to the hard drive, edited it on the
hard
drive and renamed and saved it to the hard drive. Yeehaw I was able to
edit
the file and save it. I then tried to save the new file to the RW CD
and
was given the message that it could not save the file on the CD because
the
folders on the CD were read only folders. So I figured maybe I should
just
save it on the CD in no folder but it gave me the same response, I
however
am
making progress, which is a good thing.

:

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.

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.

:

You are working on files that are on your hard drive, aren't you?

I have a number of Excel files that I want to write to a RW disk

can
have someone else edit them. I keep running into the problem of
read

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
