Hi all,

My application creates an Excel spreadsheet as an option for one report.
When the user opens it, Excel is saying it's in "Protected View" and it
can't be edited. My command to create the spreadsheet is very simple:

       COPY TO "TEST" TYPE XLS FOR include

What can I do to make sure that the created Excel sheet isn't protected so
the user can edit it?

How does the user get to the spreadsheet after you have output it? If you email it to them it might be that the application that opens it is opening in read only mode. I have seen that with open office when opening an attachment. If the file is available on a server see if the user can open it directly.
