    Attached Excel files received as "read-only".

    I have Outlook 2007.

    Whenever I receive a file attached with an e-mail (whether MS word or Excel), the file is read-only.

    Is there any solution to receive the files as normal files...

    Have you checked back with the sender of the file that they did not save it as a read only file?
    What happens if you save the attachment to disk and open it from there?
    Can you use Save As ... and save a copy that is not read only?

    This happens with all files. But I have checked - no file is read-only with the sender..

    I cannot even save the files to any drive.
