How do I remove the read only attribute from a word 2003 web page
I have created several documents as web pages and saved them to an IIS 6.0
server. I now need to edit the documents and they are set as read only. I have full permissions to the documents on the web site but can't edit due to the read only restriction. I think I may have accidentaly set somrthing in Word 2003 but can't remember what or where it is. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark |

How do I remove the read only attribute from a word 2003 web page
Hi Mark-
Quite possibly the file attribs have been set to Read Only. Rather than trying to open the files, navigate to the folder, right-click one and choose Properties. If there is a check in the Read Only box, remove it. If that proves to be the case, you can back up one level, right-click the folder & remove the attrib for all files in it at once. If Read Only had been applied using Word you would probably remember being prompted to use a password and would be prompted for that password when trying to open the file, along with an option to open for editing _or_ as Read Only. If you didn't set a Password to Modify you would only have been able to check the box for Read Only Recommended, which would generate a prompt on opening but not prevent editing the file & saving changes once opened.

How do I remove the read only attribute from a word 2003 web
Cyber Taz,
The attributes are indeed set to Read Only. As soon as I change them they go right back to Read Only. I got on my IIS server and checked the attributes on the Inetpub folder it is set Read Only. Do you know if this is done automagically by Microsoft as part of the IIS 6.0 installation. I do not recall setting this folder to Read Only. I hesitate to change it without know why iit is that way.

Thanks, Mark Website (at least in Linix [not sure about IIS]) have permission (file attributes) for both folders and files. The permissions are known as "chmod" settings. Here's a linux explantion: http://catcode.com/teachmod/ Here's a link that MAY apply to IIS, however I read once reference where permissions for IIS were set by the host: http://www.1planhost.com/support/s_CHMOD-tutorial.asp |

Unfortunately, I did not get Don's post. Just a line of random characters.
Perhaps Don would be willing to re-post his information. Thanks, Mark "CyberTaz" wrote: Am not that familiar with IIS, but I believe Don is on the right track.
