Everytime I open an excel document it states that the document should be
opened as read only unless you need to save changes to it. Then it ask if I
want to open as read only. I never want to open as read only. How can I get
the document to just open. I have goon to properties and the read only box is
not checked. I am using office 2003. Thank you.

Open it (not as readonly).
File|SaveAs (use the same name to overwrite the file)
In xl2002, there's a Tools option on this File|SaveAs dialog
Then General Options
Uncheck "read only recommended"

And continue with the save.

(The dialogs might be slightly different in older versions--but I bet it's the
same in xl2003.)

My main problem is opening exccel files that are attachments to emails. I
double click on the attached Excel file and the box comes up asking if I want
to open or save the file. If I select open, it only opens the file as a copy
of the attachment. If I select save, if saves it properly, but then I have to
go find the file and open it in it's saved location. This is a new feature it
appears in 2003....and I dont like it!
