Project files open in read-only mode

project files open in read-only mode in ms project 2013.But in the case of MS Project 2007 it opens in READ\WRITE mode .what should i do so that project will opens in READ\WRITE mode by default in MS Project 2013

In addition to John's excellent reply, I'd add that if you are talking about Project Server, this is by design that the projects in 2013 version open in read-only mode, in order to require an explicit operation to check-out the file. This prevents to have
many checked out files by mistake.
See this
article on my blog.

Shared folder files open as read only even though they are set up as read write

Hello, I've recently purchased a iMac to work alongside my mac book pro. Primarily, i want this for ease of use at home and as a 'back up' to my pro should anything happen.
I have a number of folders and files on my pro that I wish to access on the iMac and have set up shared folders to enable this with a new profile and read/write permissions. This all works fine until I open the document, make changes then find that I have to save as a different name as the files open as 'read only'?
Is there anything I've missed? I would of expected 'read/write' permissions to enable me to save files as edited?
Any help appreciated otherwise, I'll have to resort to copying files between machines which would be a major dissapointment!
Thanks in advance

Found the solution...basically the permissions are not automatically cascaded down to sub folders and files so you have to do the following... modified from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2743520?start=0&tstart=0
On the folder that you would like to change, select the Get Info and then click on the cogwheel at the bottom of the Get Info dialog.
Click on the menu pick "Apply to enclosed items ..." and confirm the warning message.
Then the same read & write permissions are applied to all the subfolders of the selected folder.

"open for read error" message

A recent firmware update (2.1 for MAcBooks) caused many of us to lose use of our superdrives. Someone figured out a fix that involved "flashing" the drive by running a program he wrote from Terminal. It worked for quite a few people but when I tried to run it instead of executing the program the message "open for read error" was returned. The command was "./simple_flash 0 UJ857-KBVB-MBP-rpc1.dat" which was supposed to start the simple_flash executible which referred to or used the .dat file.
Does anyone know what the "open for read error" is telling me? How can I resolve whatever it is that is preventing execution.
Thanks very much. Many are buying new superdrives to solve this problem but that is expensive.

I would say to take your machine into an Apple Store, but judging by your profile, I think that might not be feasible.
Where are you running this from? I downloaded it and looked at the source and that error just means that it can't open the dat file. Actually, it means that it can't even find the dat file. In the Terminal, you must use "cd" to move to the directory where the "simple_flash" executable and the .dat file are located. Do an "ls" and, if they are both listed, it should work.

Database open for read-only access ORACLE

while building a universe with a dblink betweens oracle databases, i try to create a derived table in the form
select field1 from table@db_to_db2
but i get the following message:
Exception: DBD, ORA-16000: database open for read-only acces State N/A.
I understand the statement "Set Transaction for read only" must be set before any transaction during the session, but still dont know how to trigger it in bo universe designer.
Can someone know how to solve it?

I suggest you fill-in the BEGIN_SQL parameter on the Universe to turn on the read-only transaction.
Here is an excerpt from the Universe Designer guide:
The BEGIN_SQL parameter allows you to prefix SQL statements with the same parameters each time a SQL statement is generated.
1. Open the "Universe Parameters" dialog box in Designer.
2. Click the Parameter tab.
3. In the "Parameter" list, select the BEGIN_SQL parameter and enter the
appropriate prefix commands.
4. Save the settings.
5. Save the universe.

SP2013 and Project 2013 - project files open in read-only mode with no options to edit only Save As

Hi all,
Environment:
SharePoint 2013 (15.0.4420.1017) RTM
Windows 8 - Project 2013 (15.0.4433.1506) 32Bit
Issue details:
When opening .mpp files stored within SharePoint they are opened successfully within Project 2013 however they are opened in Read-Only mode with no options to edit/check out only Save As. The
same outcome is experienced if you click the document link within SharePoint or you chose to edit from the document menu.
Opening the file through windows explorer also opens only in read-only mode.
To date we’ve tested the following
Windows 7 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 8 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 7 – Office 2013 = opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Windows 8 – Office 2013 – opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Current thinking is that it is an issue with either the SharePoint Office Documents Class ActiveX control or Project 2013 itself interacting with SharePoint 2013.
We have tested this in multiple SP2013 environments with the same outcomes.
The workaround therefore is to save locally and then upload again which is not ideal.
Unable to find an exact issue match to this.
Any help with this appreciated.

Hi Dan,
For us after investigating this further it was found that using the document menu to edit or checkout and then edit results in the project file being opened in read-only mode.
The same issue was present for Visio files.
Using the FILES ribbon menu results in the document being opened in edit mode successfully in both Project and Visio.
Please note that we found that this issue only exists within document libraries where checkout is required to edit which was our case. If checkout is not required the document
menu can also be used as expected.
Cheers,
Dan

File opens in Reader, but prints with Acrobat

Hi
If I double click on a PDF file it opens in Reader.
If I right click it and select 'print' it will attempt to print using Adobe Acrobat 5.
I think Adobe Acrobat 5 is required for some old systems my company uses.
How can I change default behaviour on my machine so that right-click print is done through Reader and not Acrobat?

In Run type regedit and open following registry path(Second part may differ from machine to machine):
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-762979615-2031575299-929701000-XXXXXX\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf
On the Right panel ,right click and Add "String Value" by the name "Application" and then Modify(Right Click) this "Application" and add Value data as the name of application by which you want open pdf file.Eg. If you want to make Acrobat as your default application ,put Acrobat.exe or put AcroRd32.exe if you want Reader as your default app. Similarly put the name of corresponding .exe for other pdf Readers you have and you want to make a particular as your default app.For knowing the name of exe of other Readers, just check in “OpenWithList” just below .pdf(on left).
I hope it can solve your problem

Hi,
First of all, you'll need to work out if the problem is install/machine based, or user-based. Get the users than can't open the file to log in on the machines of the two people that can open the report. What happens?
If they can open the report on the other machine, it's a client issue, I'd suggest a double-check that the versions match and/or a re-install.
If they can't open the reports on the other machines then it's a server/user problem. Either examine the user accounts to identify the differences, or just re-create the users from scratch to match the two users who can open the reports.

I can't open pdf files with Ibooks app. The files open for some seconds and then they disappear! Thanks

Files open and disappear in few seconds!

It sounds like the app is crashing for whatever reason. Start with simple, easy things.
Quit iBooks and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If those things do not help - you may want to consider deleting the iBooks app and reinstall it. Make sue that all of your books and pdf files have been backed up and synced with iTunes before you delete the app.

OS X Server files open as read only on client machines.

Recently, users became unable to save changes to any file on our server or add any file to any folder on our server. The server folders and files are all opening as read only on the client machines. Currently, the users are all assigned to a group, we'll call it "companyusers", this group is granted full read/write access. On the Get Info dialog box for each file on the server, the group "companyusers" is accurately displayed under sharing and permissions with Read & Write privileges, however under the Get Info dialog box for each client machine, the group "companyusers" is non-existent. Only a name titled "(unknown)" and "everyone" is showing up. Any ideas on why the "companyusers" group is not showing up on the sharing and permissions section for the client machines?

I think I found the fix. Looks like it works in my quick test.
I read this post here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8278602&#8278602
Basically in Server Admin, I went to the 'File Sharing Tab' at the top of the window
Clicked on 'Share points'
High-lighted my Share Point
Below in the window, clicked on Share Point
Clicked on Protocol Options...
Clicked on SMB
Clicked on Assign as Follows - and I made everything Read & Write.

InDesign CS4 Files Open as Read-Only (Mac)

Having a problem where InDesign CS4 files sometimes open as read-only versions. This happens when opened by double-clicking through Finder, force opening by dragging the file over the ID icon in the Dock, or when opened through ID (file > open). If it's relevant, the ID file contains links to InCopy files that have been made using the Assignments Panel. System is Mac OS X 10.6.2. Any help &/or insight is greatly appreciated!

I got a similar kind of problem / error trying to migrate an InDesign Server CS4 solution to another server with InDesign Server CS5.
Windows 2008 server.
I'll describe it, just in case it might give any clues.
Calling an InDesign server "open" script, trying to open an InDesign document, using a network path - although the file is on the same server - resulted in an error message:
System.Exception: 3598: Error from InDesign. Cannot save the document. No destination file supplied.
In the script there is a line, telling Indesign Server to call the save method, if the document is modified, which can be the case after opening a document from another environment, converting to CS5, and links that need relinking and other stuff that either InDesign takes care of, or that the script does.
No lock file ( .idlk ) was created on the server, but until I restarted the InDesign server instance, the file was opened as read-only when I opened it on my own computer (from the same network path on the server). I could then not save it from my own computer (the "Save As" dialogue appeared when I selected "Save" in the File menu).
After restarting the InDesign Service, the file was no longer locked (restarting the sevice automatically clears all open threads to the documents), and I could use and save the file without trouble, from my own computer.
Changing from Local Service to Administrator for running the InDesign service on the server, made the document open. Setting full permissions to the "Local Service" account, on the network share in question, also works, and that's the way I left it.
So my problem had to do with permissions on the network share. Since the service account was not allowed to do certain things, such as "modify" files... something went wrong.
Probably no lock file could be written either, due to permissions... then the open document and locking was handled by the operating system only(?), keeping the document read-only, and reporting other messages than the expected ones. It somehow seems that the document was neither open nor closed on the server (since InDesign Server has no user interface, I can only report what my method calls "saw").
Now - with the permissions of the service account changed - trying to open the document on my computer I get the correct message: "Cannot open the document [...]. You may not have permission or the document may be open already."
(When it was opened in a faulty state - with insufficient permissions - on the server, I could still open it on my computer, but as read-only, due to the missing lock file.)

Word 2010 Files Open as Read Only

Greetings !
I have an end user who has a somewhat enigmatic and oh so mysterious issue concerning various and random Word files stored on one of our file servers.
Let's say she opens 10 different Word files. Of those 10, 2 or 3 may open as READ ONLY when that attribute is clearly not set on any of them! Permissions look OK. The files are not in use.
This occurs on a Windows 7 client pulling files from a 2012 file server.
I dunno on this one. Suggestions?

Excel Survey in SharePoint: is the responses file open for everyone?

If I make an Excel Survey in OneDrive for Business, is the Excel Workbook that contains the responses open for everybody? Because if it's not, are the users able to submit a survey?
Is there another way of doing an Excel survey where the responses will remain visible only for the author?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to make the responses that remain visible only for the survey owner/author. If yes, please try this: we might create a survey that others fill out just by
opening the link you provide. You’ll see everyone’s response compiled in one online spreadsheet.
For more detailed steps, please see these links:
