Read only workbook on Vista not XP ?

Post by ABabeNChrist »

I have a Excel Binary Workbook that works great on an XP system but was added to a Vista system and says Read only?
will not allow to be saved. The property check box for read only is unchecked

There is no intrinsic reason for a workbook being read-only on Windows Vista.
If you right-click the .xlsb file in Windows Explorer on the Vista PC and select Properties from the popup menu, is there an "Unblock" button near the bottom of the Properties dialog?
Best wishes,
