Save to restricted file

[Roy]

I have a file on the network with access to it for 3 people. When you open a
file in the folder ( excel or word ) and then try to save it to the same
location it says read only. The file will save to desktop but not the folder.
The person who is the owner can not even save to it.

Any ideas please?

RE: Save to restricted file

Right-click over each file (1 at a time) and choose properties. On the
general tab, is the read-only attribute marked? If it is, remove it and try
opening/changing/saving the file again. If it's not, click the security tab.
Do the users have write permission to the file? If not, give it to them.

If the files are on a server share, it may be that the share permissions are
set at read only.
