VBA Code to save my excel 2013 file as Read Only (or Non Editable) ...

Hi,
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs SFilePath & udds & ".xlsm", xlWorkbookNormal
SetAttr SFilePath & udds & ".xlsm", vbReadOnly
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
I have used the above code to make my file readonly ...however it still allows to make changes to the file and sometimes the file does not get open and throws an error " Excel cannot open the file ".xlsm" because the file format or file extension
is not valid......."
Could you please help me this
Regards, Hitesh
Saving the file as read-only does not mean you cannot make changes, it merely means it is recommended that you open this file as read-only. Also using 'xlWorkbookNormal' is incorrect since this is basically the macro-free xml format. Use the 'xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled'
instead. Now as far as not allowing the user to make changes you will need to protect each worksheet, as well as protect the workbook. So something like
Sub ProtectWorkbook()
ThisWorkbook.Protect Structure:=True, Password:="test123"
Dim sh As Worksheet
For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
sh.Protect Password:="Test1234"
Next sh
End Sub

Programatically pick PowerView properties from Microsoft Excel 2013 file

Hi,
I have a requirement to programmatically read/handle PowerView properties like title, theme, background, font-size etc. from a Microsoft Excel 2013 file. Also I need to access the properties of the objects which are added on to the PowerView,
for e.g. properties of a table or a image added to the PowerView.
I have been looking for it since long, but no luck. Is there a way by which I can achieve it? Any pointers regarding this would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Simon_Hou for the response.
As per your answer, PowerView is an add-on and hence it is packaged and properties can't be picked.
But, PowerPivot is also a com add-in still there exists a programming handle for it. We are able to pick several properties for PowerPivot using Interop.
For PowerView, I am able to see certain bin files getting created but am unable to pick any information from those.
(Bin files namely CustomProperties1.bin, CustomProperties2.bin, CustomProperties3.bin, CustomProperties4.bin, CustomProperties5.bin)
Is there any way by which we can pick certain properties for Power View as well using these files or maybe some other way?

Can't save power pivot report back to power pivot gallery...file is read only

Hi eb
I have developed an excel pivot report in a power pivot gallery (all in 2013).
Next time i open that report from the power pivot gallery and attempt to save it again to the gallery
I am blocked with a msg: we cant save http://........./powerpivot gallery/myPwerPvt.xslx file is read only.
To keep your changes you'll need to save the woorkbook with a new name or different location.
Please help!
TIA
Rea

Hi Rea,
When you try to edit the PowerPivot workbook, are you open it as read-only mode? Please see the screenshot below:
The "Read Only" mode will not be able to save any changes to the workbook you are loading.
In addition, is it work for you while you save the PowerPivot workbook with a new name?

MS Word: This file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK, and give the document a new name in the save dialog box.

This is not a question. I believe I've found a new issue and the fix for it.
The situation:
A brand new iMac 27" running Yosemite 10.10.1
MacMini server running 10.8.5 server.
The issue:
Client on iMac trying to work on MS Word documents stored on server was requiring him to save the documents to his desktop and then copy them back to the folder on the server. The exact error message was, "This file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK, and give the document a new name in the save dialog box."
The issue is unique to this computer in an office of 10 client computers and three servers.
Attempted fixes:
Verified that the ".Temporaryitems" folder existed and the permissions were set properly.
Repaired permissions on the client and the network share.
Definitive fix:
By default, Yosemite 10.10.1 uses SMB for connecting file shares. When I overrode the default and switched to AFP protocol, the issue went away.
I hope this helps someone else.

That was it. What an operating system. It is very helpful to view files you are looking for. But if you have preview on you cannot save files.

Acrobat XI states file is read-only when trying to save

For the last couple of weeks I have had this issue . . . when saving to our shared drive, Acrobat XI states file is read-only (pop-up below) and I must save as a different name or in a different folder.
I must then save the file to a different folder or drive. No other Adobe product has this issue and it only occurs on our shared drive. IT states I have full permissions for the folder.
Anybody else have this issue?

I'm glad it was that easy, frankly! :-)
Glad it solved the problem for you!
Have a great day,

actually i do not want to open the file in read only mode because people can open and like to change and save. so guide me what i can do to not to open the file in read only mode.
here is my full code. just have a look and tell me what is wrong in my code or tell me any trick as a result i can open the file not in read only mode. here is my code.

                GC.Collect();
                GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();

I know it's a very old issue and I reached to this page looking for a solution. Finally, I have found a fix to this problem.
The problem is that we create an instance of Word and do not close it correctly. This makes program believe that the file is already open and hence you're getting the respective message of file being locked by you.
Set the visibility of your application to true and then when you close it both file and instance should close and you will not get the problem again.

Opening the file in read only mode

hi all,
i am using
i want to open any type of files in read only mode using host command.so first i am setting the attribute to read only and then opening the file. But still the opened file is editable. i have written like below
Host( 'cmd /c attrib +r "\test_folder\testing\PURCHASE_ORDER\'||:PO_FILE_NAME||'"',NO_SCREEN);
Host( 'cmd /c "\test_folder\testing\PURCHASE_ORDER\'||:PO_FILE_NAME||'"',NO_SCREEN);is this is the way to open the file in readonly mode?
Along with the above the files which i opened with the help of above said code those files i am not able to delete also.(i have to delete the selected file)
i thing when i am setting the attribute something is going for a mess!
Please help.
Thanks..

hi,
Read only means you cannot mofiy the file. This also includes that you cannot delete a readonly-file yes,
what i am doing is i have three button in my layout 'save','view' and 'delete'.
1.so when user press 'save' button after selecting the file then the file gets saved into the specified.
2. when user press 'view' button the file has to open in read only mode.
for this i have written above mentioned code(but still i am able to edit the file)
3.when user press 'delete' button the file has to be deleted from the specified location.
so my problem is after setting file to read only mode, i am able to edit but i am not able to delete it.
What i am using to set the file to read only mode is right?
Please help.
Thanks..

Every boot requires fsck. Makes file system read-only

Suddenly when I booted my Arch I got a message saying that there was a corruption in my /home and /var directories. The same message suggested to pass fsck as solution. The booting process hanged there without entering to the emergency login. I took a live cd an executed a fsck in all my ext4 file system and “repaired” the problem.
When I could log into the system if, for example, I want to write a file o do any operation (sudo for example) I get the message:
sudo: unable to open /var/db/sudo/lola/0: Read-only file system
If I reboot the PC again, the cycle begins again, this is: errors, asking for fsck, then, read-only FS.

I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!

File as Read Only

Hello,
When I am opening any file (DTR -> Edit ->) in NWDS, it' gets opened as Read only. I am unable to make any changes in it. Can anyone help?

Hi Pavan,
Yes. I have done this.
We download code from Development server to our local systems. NOw we have observed that on any system if we download the code, files becomes read-only. What can be the problem? It's definetly not a local system problem.

Problems with file permissions (read only) from Migration Assistant

So, I just got a new computer (Mac Pro / Leopard) and I used the Migration Assistant to bring in all of my information from my old Powerbook running Tiger. Once that was done I had two accounts: my old admin account (with all of my settings) and my new admin account (the default). I deleted the new admin account because I had no intent to use it any longer, and planned to continue using the old one.
But since then, I have been having some permissions issues. Pretty much all of my files are Read Only, so I have to set the permissions on them one-by-one as I need to write them. This also prevented me from doing the 10.5.2 update in Software Update (I was able to get it manually from apple.com.
I need to know if there's any way to fix this. I tried restoring from the discs, but that didn't affect anything. I've tried repairing permissions, and while that may have helped with some system folders, it doesn't help with the rest of the hundreds of files that I'm sure I'll need to "unlock" in the future.
Please help!

Repairing permissions won't fix this. Repair permissions can only work on system files and other files which have a bill of materials (BOM) receipt in /Library/Receipts.
You need to change the ownership of the files. This is very easy to do with terminal if you know what you're doing:
sudo chown -R username:staff
where username is your short username (e.g. mine is blloyd).

Now we are having issues when using uploads Excel 2013 or Excel 2010 file on document library and try to edit the document.
Sometimes it doesn't allow to check out the file it say someone already checked out ..but when I try in my laptop its OK.
And some times when user opens the file it opens as non editable file and it does not take any changes.
Pls advise whether there is issue with SharePoint 2007 document library and Office Excel 2010,2013 files.

The lock can apply in two places. Are you seeing the message in your browser or does it arise within Excel itself?
