The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

If you load a read-only .CAL data file into Calendar and then select the File Menu Save As command, an error message similar to the following is displayed.

   Cannot Save File;
   Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and,
   if applicable, the network is running.

To save the file, you must remove the file's read-only attribute. You can do this with the MS-DOS Attrib command, as follows:

   attrib -r <filename>.cal

where <filename.cal> is the name of the read-only .CAL data file.
