Remove read only on linked workbooks

I am using a Macbook Pro upgraded to Maverick.
I am using Excel and have several workbook that are linked.
When I try to open them it says they are read only.
How do I remove the read only. I have tried to work it out but have not been able to resolve the problem.
Thank you

Hello All,
I have one database user for whom read only privilege is there to him on a particular table.
I want to remove that privilege also for that table so that table will become invisible to him only.
Please help me how can i achieve this !

It will depend how he got the permission in the first place. Any of the following will give a specific user (SNUFFY) the ability to SELECT a given table (SCOTT.EMP).
GRANT SELECT ON SCOTT.EMP TO SNUFFY;
GRANT SELECT ON SCOTT.EMP TO PUBLIC
GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO SNUFFY;
GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO PUBLIC;
GRANT SELECT ON SCOTT.EMP TO SOME_ROLE; ... GRANT SOME_ROLE TO SNUFFY;
GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO SOME_ROLE; ... GRANT SOME_ROLE TO SNUFFY;

How to remove "Read Only" attribute on folders

Hi
I am logged in with my User account which has full control over my folders.<o:p></o:p>
I have a folder that I tried to add modifications to, however i could not do so because the folder was classified as read only. I have full permissions to this folder. Previously the app that
uses this folder could write to it quite happily, but today it fails. <o:p></o:p>
The 'attributes' for the folder shows a solid square in the read-only box. If I 'un-box' the read-only and apply > ok, when I look at the attributes again the box is still checked.<o:p></o:p>
So my question is, if it's not (which it shouldn't be) some sort of protected Windows folder, and I have full permissions on the folder (supposedly), why does Windows not respect my wishes,
get out of the way, and let me set it to what I want it to be?<o:p></o:p>
I have tried the following methods to fix this issue, but none of them work:<o:p></o:p>
-Adjusting permissions and control, and changing security options<o:p></o:p>
-Using a third party application such as "clear read only" to remove the check on the box<o:p></o:p>
-Using the "attrib" function on the CMD prompt<o:p></o:p>
-Boot Scan for virus/malware that is affecting folder attributes<o:p></o:p>
-Running applications and CMD as administrator<o:p></o:p>
I have heard that if using a NTFS harddrive, then all folders will be automatically “Read Only” and that it is impossible to change that attribute. I find this hard to believe, as all folders
should have some way of being modified, regardless of what HDD I’m using. I obviously cannot change to FAT32, so how else can I get my folders to get rid of this ridiculous error!
<o:p>I have also noticed that this problem is very common amongst Windows users. If this problem has been around for a while, how is it possible that no solution has presented itself.
Regardless, we need a solution to it, because i can't do the things i need to while the Read Only attribute remains a constant on my folders. I thought it may be a virus, but my avast anti-virus did not pick up any infected areas when the scan was done. I
have searched the internet, and no "fix" has solved this issue. The only fix i have not found is a reg edit that could completely remove this read only attribute from all folders. Though i feel this is not neccesary, as i only need the attribute
to be removed from certain folders. Please kindly assist me with this issue, hopefully it will help many others too...</o:p>
Many thanks.

Have you taken ownership of the folder? Please first take ownership of the folder, then change the security options
Take Ownership of a File or Folder

If you have already did this, then run a scan with this tool,

or copy this folder to another location, test again.

How do I remove "read-only" from images transferred from a PC so that I can add keywords?

I switched to a Mac from a PC a year ago and have been using PSE 9 + Organizer with no problems. I transferred all my images from the PC at that time. Now, I want to transition to using Bridge and have been assigning keywords to the newer photos added after I started using the Mac. I am unable to assign keywords to the earlier photos because Bridge says they are read-only. I checked the Apple Get Info on the folders and they are read and write. Any ideas?

the Sharing and Permissions box on the bottom shows I have "custom" and "read & write" access for both pre- and post 9/2010 folders. All others (nobody, staff, everyone) have read only. Of course there is actually only me.
Anne,
It seems related to your OSX. I think you have created a new user account without adding a name (hence Nobody) but I'm a bit guessing in this department.
The default user account folders like pictures and movies have the ability to set to 'custom'. With you as only user and administrator there should preferably only be one user account visible. By default a newly created folder should show 3 options for sharing and permission. User (your name of the user account) Read and Write
Staff: read only
Everyone: Read only.
I have tried deleting "nobody" and "staff" and changing Annie to read and write - all kinds of combinations.
You can only edit users accounts in the system preferences / Accounts. In here is the option for you as administrator to delete and create users accounts. Here is where it is getting a bit difficult because we can't see your set up for the OSX. But if you have to change 'Annie' to read and write and assuming your user account name is Annie it should already have been on read and write. If you are logged in as 'nobody' this should have shown read and write to have access to change metadata.
So you first have to study a bit about user accounts on a Mac and see if you have a correct install. It is not very difficult and you will gain profit from this knowledge.
try the Apple.com support site, for a start here is a link to an article from the Apple Knowledge Base (kb) article about user accounts:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3309
Some images have been moved from the original folders so that could be a problem.
Basically you should not have any problem with moving files to whatever folder you want or create on your user account (or to external Disk etc.)
For a start you could create a new main folder in your user account Home folder and call this test or whatever you like except an already existing name. Of course also check if you have read and write permissions for it...
Open Bridge, use the folder panel to select a folder with the problem files. Now scroll through the folder panel and click on the triangle in front of your home folder. This will open the list with nested folders while Bridge content window still keeps its focus on the problem files you first selected. Select a bunch of the problem files from the content panel and use drag and drop to move the files to the newly created folder. Just move the mouse on the folder name and release the files.
If you hold the option (alt) key while dragging there will appear a + - sign and the files are copied to their new location, just use what you think is best for you.
After this action has finished click with your mouse on the newly created folder name in the folder panel and now the files should show in the content panel (if correct also already cached). Check if you are able to change the metadata now.
Most have tags from current and previous Photoshop Elements versions.
That should not be a problem, some info will be readable by Bridge, others not. Some Bridge version even had their own Bridge versions.

Does anyone know how to remove read only status from html document header

Greetings, I am trying to insert a slideshow widget inot a dreamweaver site using a dynamic web template (DWT). I get the error message unable to insert because header is read only. Any ideas of how to fix this?

People hate it when I do this, but I'm going to get on my soap box again.
If you are not an expert or at least highly proficient at modifying XHTML and CSS code, you should NOT be working with DWT files. Until you FULLY understand how to edit and modify nested, editable, parent and child regions, you will have nothing but trouble working with DWTs.
I've been writing CSS, HTML and XHTML for seven years and I don't mess with DWTs because I'll admit I'm a control freak and I can't stand having any part of a web page locked up by another file.
Use the pre-designed pages in DW, or download a layout from one of the many sites that have them, but until you are an expert at codework, stay away from templates (dwt). You'll save yourself a lot of headaches.

Active database link in read-only DB

I am unable to active a db_link on a Standby database. The TNS names and Link settting are replication of production DB. My Standby is READ-ONLY.
Are there any special setting for a READ-ONLY DB link.... I just want to activate it
Then I can create a read-only view on the remote DB. Or are all operations over a LINK (even select) seen as DML/DDL and there is no point in activating link?
Thanks.

Folders become read-only and I can't get them changed back, any suggestions?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

The read-only setting on folders has nothing to do with the read-only status of the contents. It's used by Windows for its own peculiar purposes. Basically, it's none of our business.

My Drive D: is locked into an attribute of Read-Only

Hello,
For some reason, as of recent, my Drive D: has become a Read-Only drive. I have only one physical drive so this is an extension as originally purchased in my 1.5 yr. old ASUS notebook, then running WIN8. I had upgraded to WIN8.1 and then about several months
ago, again upgraded to WIN8.1 PRO to allow the encryption of this machine for required work purposes. I installed Bitlocker as required. Although Bitlocker was apparently successful, it did not fully encrypt the machine. After a call to ASUS, I find this machine
is one of those that the manufacture just felt not to include that capability! So currently none of the drives are checked to include encryption and had been working fine until about a week ago when I tried to move some files to Drive D:.
I have done the following:
1. Ran CHKDSK, no problems
2. Ran DISKPART with the Attrib commands which were successful to remove read only, but in realty didn't change the condition.
3. Verified ALL permission on this drive were provided even in the Advanced option, no issues.
4. Ran professional Drive Management software which was unable to modify the drive due to the read-only status.
I was unsuccessful to find any tool or process in which to check the overall status of Bitlocker or to completely remove it. I have no need for it since it can't perform, and therefore continues to be my personal machine. I mention Bitlocker in case this has
a bearing. This has been working and performing well since that time until last week.

Hi,
Please try the following method to modify the D drive read only flag for test.
1. Run DiskPart
2. List and select the disk(LIST DISK followed by SELECT DISK <disk #>)
3. If the disk is offline, bring it online by running ONLINE DISK
4. View the attributes by running DETAIL DISK
The command DETAIL DISK may give an output similar to the following
DISKPART> detail disk
<SAN Device>
Disk ID: ########
Type : <type>
Bus : #
Target : #
LUN ID : #
Read-only : Yes
Boot Disk : No
Pagefile Disk : No
Hibernation File Disk : No
Crashdump Disk : No
5. To clear the read only flag, run ATTRIBUTE DISK CLEAR READONLY
6. Exit DiskPart
You should now be able to write to the disk.

Collect signatures workflow - Signatures can't be added or removed because this document was opened read-only

Hi, I have configured a "Collect Signatures" workflow for test Word document(.docx), then uploaded it to sample SP 2010 doc library (content type "Document"). This Word document has 2 empty Signature Lines in it.
After that i'm starting the Collect Signatures workflow on it , which is assigned to me and other user from my Active Directory.
Workflow is started and after that i'm receiving mail about assigned task which also contains link to document.
When i click on link it opens IE which contains SP library file path, after a while doc is opened in Word client in Read-only mode. When i want to sign the document info window pops up : "Signatures can't be added or removed because this document was opened
read-only" and i'm not able to compete task/sign doc from Word.
It is possible to sign the document when i go to SP library and opens this file directly from there (file drop-down menu-> open in MS Word).
I saw that this behaviour is similar to this article:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/31ba43ec-b04e-428d-9a66-0cc571934197/collect-signatures-workflow-using-firefox-not-showing-workflow-task-this-document-requires-your?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
but i'm using IE so it shouldn't be Active X issue.
I have also checked this MS Fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2661910
but changing CA settings to Permissive didn't help
Any ideas ?

Hi bezcisnien,
I could not reproduce this issue.
When you open this file directly by clicking the document Name link from SharePoint library, is there a
yellow message bar in Word document?
Did this happen to all users on all PCs?
Have you checked if it is a client side issue, test with different IE 8/9/10 versions for this issue (and IE compatibility mode, add-ons, trusted site zone etc)?

How to provide a LINK on normal TEXT field in read only mode

Hi,
I have a TEXT item and that is used for only url purpose.
so a user can enter something like http://www.abc.com in that field.
So when I am in read only mode for that item, I want a link also on that text..
how can I do that.
thanks,
Deepak

You could create a pl/sql expression computation on the TEXT item which will convert the value shown for the field to be a HTML link
'<a href="http:// ' || :PXX_TEXT || '">' || :pXX_TEXT || '</A>';Make the computation conditional using the same condition as is used to render the item as read-only

Should the Edit in Browser link appear when Office Web Apps is read only?

Hi,
We have deployed an Office Web Apps farm in read only mode for licensing reasons.
There is a binding between SharePoint 2013 and the Office Web Apps farm, everything is working well, except the option to Edit Office documents using Office Web Apps is quite prominent on the ECB menus and document previews.
Is anyone able to advise whether this is expected behaviour? When the link is clicked a friendly error message states that licensing doesn't support editing, which is correct. I'm just trying to see if the user experience can be improved by a setting that
we've missed somewhere along the line.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Per my knowledge, if you have configured Office Web Apps for SharePoint, the Edit in Browser option will appear in the ECB menu regardless of the licensing of the Office Web Apps.
So I recommend to use CSS code to hide the Edit in Browser option if you do not want the user to use it.
Edit the page of the document library view page, and then add a Content Editor web part to the page.
After that add the code below to the Content Editor web part:
<style>
a[Title="Edit in Browser"]{
display:none !important;
</style>

Victoria

How to remove a oracle form from read only format

I need to personalize an Oracle form for one responsibility. But when i open through that responsibility, it is opening in read only format. When i open the same form through super user responsibility, then it is opening up-datable format. I tried different options like 'System Profiles- HR Query only to 'NO'', 'Removing Query-Only'. but still i can open it only in read only format where i need to make some fields up-datable.
Any suggestions please?

Need to Add and Remove Columns of ADF Read Only table from Backing bean

I have a scenario where I am trying to Populate TransientVO which is shown has a ADF Read Only Table in page.
I have couple of Check Boxes Based on their selection I am trying to render and hide certain Columns.
But the Issue which I am facing is only the Column Header seems to change where as the Rows and Values doesnt..
even If I apply the expression language rendering condition on the outputText inside those columns.. ..
So I am thinking to add and remove VO Attribute columns to the table from backing bean.
Need some sample code snippet or a better design to achieve this. Its kind of urgent too...having an aggressive deadline :(
