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.
Hope this helps,

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

"xlsx" files opens in read only mode

Hi,
I'm not able to edit .xlsx file when I try to do so from the followedcontent.aspx page. Whereas, I can follow the .xls document.
Has anyone encountered this problem before. Is this the expected SharePoint 2013 behavior with .xlsx documents.
To reproduce the issue, you can follow two excel files one with .xls and another with .xlsx extension. Go to the followedcontent.aspx page (where you see all the content you are following). Try to open and edit .xlsx file.
Thank you.

I think, I just stumbled upon the solution:
Go to the followedcontent.aspx page, then go to site settings, and then activate "Open Document in Client Applications by Default" feature.

Files are in READ ONLY mode

I have a file server 2003 with shared folders. I have " FULL CONTROL" on all the folders. However, when someone else saves a document in one of the folders, it opens in READ ONLY mode on my Windows 7 machine, Office 2013. When I log into the server
itself, I can make any changes to the file. Not from my windows 7.
any ideas?
thanks

Hi,
This issue may occur if the following conditions is true:
The network folder is open in Microsoft Windows Explorer and you are using Details view to display additional details (such as the author or title) for files in the folder. Windows Explorer reads the contents of the files in the folder to obtain the additional
details. If a program tries to open a file exclusively and Windows Explorer has the network file open to extract this additional file information, a sharing violation occurs.
You could turn off the details pane in Windows 7 to resolve the issue. Details Pane can be turned off on the open folder with the Organize dropdown: Organize->Layout->Details Pane.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
Office document always opens in read-only when opening from a network folder (Windows 7 + Office 2010 with Swedish language pack)

GPO settings - documents in sharepoint 2007 sometimes open in read-only mode - needs IE reset to fix

Hi,
We've got an intranet running on SharePoint 2007.
We also enforce alot of group policies to our users.
But there is a problem that keeps reoccuring:
On random moments, when a user tries to edit a document on any random document library in SP 2007, it gets opened in read-only mode.
The only temporary fix we found for this is resetting the IE settings in Internet Options -> 'tab' advanced -> Reset IE settings... and pressing Reset.
We think it is some GPO setting that we have malconfigured or forgot to configure and we hope that someone could point us in a direction to troubleshoot or even solve this.
Thanks in advance for reading and providing help.

Hello,
I also suspect that there might be issue with IE plug-in so could you confirm that? you can also tell su what plug-in you see in IE.
You might also want to look at this similar threads:

Document will only open in read-only mode

I created a .pdf document from a Word document in Adobe Acrobat Professional 10.1.1. When I open the .pdf it will only open in read-only mode. I want to change the security settings to prevent editing before I send it out but the File>Properties>Security>>Security Method is greyed out and set to "No Security." I have tried certifying and signing the document and even placing in a secure envelope with no luck.
Help.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Dave.
From MS Word, I am choosing Save as Adobe PDF. In the Save window I reviewed the "Options..." and found PDF Options including
Convert document information (checked)
Create PDF/A-1a:2005 compliant file (not checked)
Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF (checked)
Apply Security (not checked)
Create Bookmarks (checked)
Convert Comments (not checked)
I checkmarked Apply Security and attempted to save the document, however, received the following error:
PDFMaker cannot apply security when PDF/X or PDF/A compliant job option is selected.
I do not have the Create PDF/A-1a:2005 compliant file box checked so I'm not sure why I'm getting that error.

It is possible to apply redo while the standby is open in read only mode ?

Hi,
I am using Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.1.0)
Step 1: Two node RAC is Configured.
Step 2: One node Data Guard RAC is configured.( i,e Standby is one node RAC).
Primary:
SQL> select open_mode,database_role,PROTECTION_MODE,PROTECTION_LEVEL from v$database;
OPEN_MODE DATABASE_ROLE PROTECTION_MODE PROTECTION_LEVEL
READ WRITE PRIMARY MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY
Standby:
SQL> select open_mode,database_role,PROTECTION_MODE,PROTECTION_LEVEL from v$database;
OPEN_MODE DATABASE_ROLE PROTECTION_MODE PROTECTION_LEVEL
READ ONLY WITH APPLY PHYSICAL STANDBY MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY
Question:
I have not purchased active dataguard license.
In my case In Data Guard RAC it is possible to apply redo while the database is open in read only mode?
Thanks

"READ ONLY WITH APPLY" in V$DATABASE.OPEN_MODE means Active Data Guard is enabled.
Oracle code cannot check if you have the right license: it is up to you to know which license you have for your database environments.

Generating EXPLAIN PLAN on a database which is opened in READ-ONLY mode

Hi,
I am using Oracle 10.2.0.3 version.
If my database is opened in READ-ONLY mode, means no insert/update/delete operations are permitted here.
While generating EXPLAIN PLAN for any SQL, it does entries in PLAN_TABLE. But my database is opened in READ-ONLY mode, means no inserts can happen.
So how can I generate EXPLAIN PLAN for my SQL in this condition?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
oratest

You can always do: "explain plan into some_table@remote_database" to avoid inserting into the local database. Unfortunately 10g added a sequence fetch to the "explain plan" code, and this is where the call would fail if you tried this remote approach on your version.
Here's an idea I haven't tested. If you set up a database link from your production database to the read-only database, you could then do an "explain plan" in the production database for the SQL statement by changing every object reference in the SQL statement to "object@readonlydatabase". In most cases this will allow the optimizer to recognise the statement as "fully remote" and get the optimizer on the readonly database to create the execution plan - which would then be written to the production database.

Query faild against database that is opened in read only mode

Does someone have an idea what the problem could be ?
Thanks.

Hi
Object can become invalid, if the underlying objects are dropped/invalidated.
So even if you create or validate the underlying objects these objects by themself do not become valid. You have to either make them valid or you should use it atleast one time as select/desc or any other query so that Oracle implicitly make it valid.
Your source datatabase has valid synonym because after dropping/creating you must have selected that synonym atleast one, but this selection procedure would be after you copied your data to the target database.

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.

ZForm only opens is 'read only" mode - but WDR_TEST_ADOBE, runs fine

Dear readers,
I am working on an Adobe form, now ZForm only opens is 'read only" mode - but when i run WDR_TEST_ADOBE, it runs fine and it is interactive and I am able to click on the buttons.
I compared the form from WDR_TEST_ADOBE, and changed the layout to ZC1, and run the Web dynpro script. After activating and running the webdynpro, I see that it is still acting strange and none of the input fields are accepting input.
There seems to be nothing wrong with the ADS or live cycle designer.
Some setting in my Webdynpro is preventing this form from being displayed correctly.
When I attach the form - "WDR_TEST_ADOBE_SIMPLE" from the WD - WDR_TEST_ADOBE, and test my WD, The form is being displayed as read only.
which again leaves to the conclusion that the something is not right in the WD.
~Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks

As of NetWeaver 7.0 SPS10 we strongly recommend you use ZCI forms with an XML interface only. Because additional central features have been added in subsequent SPs (input help and dropdown list boxes), we generally recommend that you always use the most up-to-date Support Package for Web Dynpro ABAP.

PDF's open in Read-Only Mode

Hi,
I purchased a Windows 8 (not pro) 64bit system and installed Acrobat XI Pro, I never installed Adobe Reader. The computer and Adobe are both fully updated and I am running into the following problem.
I look for a pdf in my windows browser and when I see in the Preview Pane (which I have eneabled) Acrobat opens the PDF's but will not let me save any edits I make to them. At first this was happing to local and network files but it is not only happening to files in my network drives. I did the following to resolve the problem (which worked, but only for Local Files NOT PDF's in my Network Drives):
1. Stopped the services for all Adobe products.
2. Re-named my AcroRD32.exe to AcroRD32.OLD
3. Opened windows explorer to use Acrobat as the Previewer instead of reader.
This onlly worked for the pdf's I have saved locally, not on network drives.
I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. I receive the following error when leaving a file selected in Preview Pane and working on it simultaneously and try to save it:
"The document could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
I have also selected a different file in the preview pane and then tried tosave the file and it worked. (This confirmed to me that the problem was with the Preview pane, but only on PDF's saved in a network folder, not locally)
Any suggestions, answers, help? Please and thank you, I appreciate everyone's help or comments!!!!
Thank you,
tech_geezy

Oh man! I was really hoping that wasn't going to be the case! Thanks a lot man, I appreciate the help!
I'll leave this forum open for another week, maybe someone else has something experimental to try, thanks everyone!

Hi,
a new upgrade local database version is available to local database. You need start a Siebel Remote session to retrieve the upgrade kit, or you need rextract a new database with the new upgrade.

How Real Time Apply works while physical standby is open in Read Only mode

Hi,
With Active data guard option, we can open physical standby DB in read only mode, while redo log are being applied. (Real Time Query)
Standby Redo log (SRL) enables Real Time Apply (with "USING CURRENT LOGFILE" clause in recover database command on standby DB)
I am interested to know, how Real Time Query works ?
What is the mechanism with allows us to open physical standby DB in read only mode while redo logs are being applied continuously ?
Regards,
Sujit

Dear user7419391,
That is a new feature in Oracle Database 11g. MRP can use the real time apply in 10g but the concept here is different.
Taken from the following document;
http://www.ascent.co.za/documents/oracle/Oracle%20databse%2011g%20Active-Data-Guard%20datasheet.pdf
*Unique Advantages of Oracle Active Data Guard*
+Active Data Guard is an evolution of Data Guard technology, providing unique+
+performance advantages while leveraging all other enhancements included in Oracle+
+Data Guard 11g. For example, any Data Guard 11g physical standby database can+
+be easily converted to a Snapshot Standby. A Snapshot Standby is open read-write+
+and is ideally suited as a test system, able to process transactions independent of the+
+primary database. A Snapshot Standby maintains protection by continuing to receive+
+data from the production database, archiving it for later use. When tests are+
+complete, a single command discards changes made while open read-write and+
+quickly resynchronizes the standby database with the primary.+
The other link in the previous post is excellent and you really have to read it to understand the active data guard aspects.
Regards.

Word 2007 - documents open in read only mode

Got a couple of users who are getting this issue. When they want to open some documents from a file share, it opens as read only (this is random) - comes up with a prompt saying that this file is locked for editing by another user. If they close
it, wait a few minutes then it opens fine and they can edit it. It has nothing to do with permissions and no one else has this document open.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply.
Anything is welcome at this point.
And yes, I did try both through PowerShell and through the Unlocker and the behavior is pretty much the same. If the item is checked in, there is no trace that it is locked, if I Check it Out (the only thing I can really do with it) it shows as "LongTerm"
but then throws the same exception
Unlocking...
Error occurred. Details:
Save Conflict
Your changes conflict with those made concurrently by another user. If you want your changes to be applied, click Back in your Web browser, refresh the page, and resubmit your changes.
