Read /Wrie Access

I get the following message:

"This file cannot be opened for read/write access. Would you like to open it
for read only"

Need to write to file. How can I fix this,
I have cleared all the attributes under file properties, but I still get the
message.

Please Help.

How about if you give some more info such as what is the OS, what type of
file, what program you're using to open it, has it ever worked, who created
the file, etc. Have you tried saving the file to a different name and then
editing that file?

Or being accessed on a file share (if another user has it open you may
be forced to use it in r/o mode)?
