we have migrated to W2k and are running office 97.
the excel file is password protected and is run from on the network. when opening the file it asks if you want to access it read only or not - you say no as you want to save changes.

when updating it says cannot save and doesn;t save the file!!!!!

any clues

Do you open the file with a password? If you use the password it should not ask you to read only or not, since with the password you have full access to the file. Did you try save as to see if it works?

I had this problem when the server thought the file was being opened by another application. It can't have two people in there at the same time, and it thought someone was modifying it, so it wouldn't let anyone in. We had to have everyone reboot any and all pc's connected to the network since Excel doesn't tell you who has the file stuck open. You may want to try rebooting EVERY pc on the network and see if it helps you...

try saving the file to your local harddisk and open the file and edit the file again.
