It's quite possible that a file is set to read only
because of network security settings, or because someone
else has the file open. If you are supposed to have full
access to the file, then you can remove the read-only
setting from Windows Explorer. Right-click the file,
select Properties and uncheck the Read-Only check box. If
you can't do this, then you don't have the permission
required and need to talk to your system administrator.
 
Thanks Mike, appreciated. I probably didn't express
myself very well, as I am trying to prevent users
accessing a read only version when a networked file is
being edited. If somebody has the file open, other users
will be advised of the files status and offered a read
only version. It is this button I wish to disable.

Thanks in anticipation,
