Adrian: This isn't only an issue with .xls files, but all files created by the user. Locate the file, and make sure that it is highlighted. 1. Press ctrl+enter for properties 2. you will be told "general" "read only checked". 3. press "space to uncheck it. 4. press alt+a for "apply". 5. press tab a few time until you hear "ok" and press "enter" on it. Hopefully that should sort you out.

I don't know what has happened, but this morning I opened the file to enter my results, and was given the message, [Read Only]. So it's now saving the entries I am putting into this chart. Please, can anyone help me to change the status of this file, so I can continue writing in the information for the hospital? Any help would be appreciated, with many thanks.
