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

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.

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,

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:

Here's a link that MAY apply to IIS, however I read once reference where
permissions for IIS were set by the host:
