Re: I WANT TO CHANGE THE READ ONLY STATUS OF A FILE TO BE ABLE

Hi Glenda,

this is for Excel 2003:

On the Tools menu, click Options.
Click Security.
uncheck the Read-only recommended check box, and then click OK.
Click Save.

For 2007

On the Review tab, click Protect Document.
Select Restrict Formatting and Editing.
In Formatting restrictions, Editing restrictions and Start enforcement, you can make selections that meet your formatting and editing needs.

Let me know if this helps.
