Problem saving a spreadsheet
I created an Excel spreadsheet and saved it to a network drive. When other
people edit the spreadsheet and try to save it they get a message saying the file is set as read only. They are directed to save the file as another name. The save dialog box comes up and saves the file as a "copy of" the original. If you right click on the file and go to properties the read only attribute is not selected. Why does this keep happening? |

Problem saving a spreadsheet
My guess is that this is actually nothing to do with the spreadsheet but more
to do with your network settings. Although you have set the properties on the Workbook to allow all users to edit it, they will all also need to have write access set at the folder level on the network drive too. Another possible is that there are two people trying to open the Workbook at the same time, but you usually see a message warning you of this when you open the Workbook. My money is on the first option. HTH Neil www.nwarwick.co.uk "Scott" wrote: I created an Excel spreadsheet and saved it to a network drive.
