I have created a workbook and set it up as "shared".  I have completed it and 
sent it to another user who cannot open it as it is "read only" and he needs 
to be able to add/amend it.

I have gone into properties and the box "read only" is NOT checked.

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks

To change read only, go into Windows explorer, right click on the file name, 
click on <Properties> and click Attributes/read-only on/off as appropriate.

To change shared, click on <Save as><Tools><Properties><Sharing>

Regards.
