Cannot save. Read only?

[Kalevi]

Hi I am trying to save a file over local net. The message says. "Cannot save
file is in Read Only mode".
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Kalevi,
I would presume someone else has the file open on the server.

I'm not on a server but I started some notes, report back
if anything helps. I don't think I've mentioned this page before:

There's a bug in XP (and 2003, I think) that causes certain applications to save as Read-Only when saving to a network share.

Check these these MSKB articles for more info.

KB 328170 - File open returns Read-Only or Access Denied
KB 814112 - Files open slowly, as read only or error
KB 326549 - Cannot view or change the Read-Only attrib of folders
