Apr 5, 2012 11:09 AM in response to hardeep11by BDAqua,Hello,
Do a Get Info on the Folder that these are in, at the bottom do you have Read Only privileges for that folder?
If you do a Get Info on that Excel sheet file, can you change it so you have Read & Write?

Thanks

Apr 5, 2012 12:25 PM in response to BDAquaby hardeep11,As far as Red arrows locked option, it is not checked (empty)
For ownership and permission, i did choose the option read and write only. but still when I open any excel file, its showing Read-only on the title and i can't save the changes. I have to make new excel sheet.

Was that on both the folder above, (never did hear what that folder was or where it is), & the File both?

Apr 5, 2012 4:16 PM in response to hardeep11by BDAqua,Were you able to change the file's rights in the Finder to You Read & Write?
What happens if you open the File & save a copy somewhere else?

Apr 5, 2012 5:47 PM in response to BDAquaby hardeep11,when i try to save the original file, it says me to save the new file. so i have to make one more copy of added stuff in same file.
Everything else is working perfect. I have no issues with word, ppt.

Jun 11, 2012 4:40 PM in response to hardeep11by William Mcavinney,★HelpfulHi,
I've had this problem and found that saving the file in Excel 97-2004 Workbook (xls) format cured it. The file I had this problem with had a date (m/d/yy) included in the file name. Removing the date also worked, but that wasn't a good solution for me.

Jun 25, 2012 9:38 PM in response to William Mcavinneyby hellosamuel,★HelpfulAnother solution we found is the you can not use '/' in the name of your file. It will allow you to save it on your mac, where as in Windows it says you can't use the character / (backslash) however once you save it and reopen it on a mac, it will be read only....

Jun 27, 2012 3:04 PM in response to William Mcavinneyby hardeep11,Thanks William Mcavinney and hellosamuel for replying.
I got the solution already. When I save the file, I save as a xls format. Before it was xlsx format. So by saving as xls format, I can edit the file whenever i want.
