From: email4mel on 29 Aug 2006 11:35 Hello, I am having a hard time pinning this down. I have excel files that will only open 'Read-only' from Sharepoint. When I make a change and save, it tries to save locally. I have Windows XP Pro and Office 2003 This is what I have done so far: 1. I AM using the 'Edit file in Microsoft Excel' option after I have checked out the file 2. I have reinstalled Sharepoint Support from the office setup - did not work 3. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2003 completely - this did not work 4. I have found the fix to unregisterr/reregister the OWSSUPP.DLL and I cannot get this to work. I tried: regsvr32 -u "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\OWSSUPP.DLL" I get returned the error DllUnregisterServer in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\OWSSUPP.DLL failed. Return code was: 0x80070005 5. The read only issue is happening to only a few people. I am one of them and I am the administrator of the site. The file has no special permissions. I used to be able to check out and edit files so I am not sure what has changed. If you have any suggestions at all, please let me know. The only thing I can semi-peg this down to, is I recently cleaned up my system uninstalling several unused apps, i am not sure if a shared dll was removed that could have caused this.
