messages. In addition, the read-only (R) symbol may not appear beside the
file name on the taskbar for a file that is marked with the Read-Only
attribute.
Pocket Excel:
Your file was successfully saved but could not be reopened. The file
may be saved as <Filename1> or <Filename2>. To continue working,
close this file and then reopen the saved file.
where <Filename1> is the name of your file and <Filename2> is the
name of a temporary file Pocket Excel created.
Pocket Word:
<Filename> is read-only. Try saving with a different file name.
where <Filename> is the name of the file you are trying to save.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you change a file's attribute to Read-Only while
the file is open.
RESOLUTION

before you change a file's attributes.
