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,

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,
Mark
