Hi Harvey,.

You have received some good advice so far on this issue.  Just for 
clarification, when you were told to use the property sheet, that means 
Under the Windows Explorer/Computer utility.  Highlight the file in that 
utility and use the context key or right click menu and choose 
properties.  If the check box for read only is checked, then uncheck 
it.  Then click the OK button.
