Hi,

I just ran across your 12/07/2001 Windows Script tip on how to turn on
a file's read-only attribute and was able to successfully turn on a file's
read-only property.

My actual need is just the opposite. Might you be willing to suggest how
I could turn off the read-only attribute?

I know virtually nothing about Windows Scripting but found out that the
normal file attribute constant is 0. Simply substituting the constant
0 in place of 1 didn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.



(Your original tip)
oFSO = CREATEOBJECT('Scripting.FileSystemObject')
* Get an object reference to the file of interest
oFile = oFSO.GetFile(lcfile)
* Set to Read-Only
oFile.Attributes = BITOR(oFile.Attributes, 1)
