Hi,
i presume you have saved...file/export/comma separated values/path to cd. in
this case it will be saved with file extension .csv.
in addition the data in the cd will have an attribute of "read only" and you
can't change this attribute in cd.
so save the contents of the cd to a named folder in your hard drive. right
click the folder/properties and untick "read only".
you should be able to access it
