XL saves a READ ONLY file

when I save a file in XL in the file attached, and later go on to open the file in XL, I am told it is a READ ONLY file. How do I avoid this?

Happy New Year!

Hi Ivanka !

Where did you get the Read from XL7 vi ? Since I could not find it, just a guess :
There is some chance that this vi has problems opening a txt document, since that is the kind of file you have created with the Write chars to file vi, even if an xls extension was added.

While I am unable to view the VI since it is 7.x (I have 6.0.2 at work) I am wondering if maybein that VI that chilly charly could not see it not closing the ActiveX components completely.

When I have had errors in a VI I am testing and it does nto completely close all the components I would have this problem.

As for Reading in the TXT file you can set the ActiveX to know it is a TXT file and load it correctly. You can also do that when you save if you desire.
