workbook changed to read only

[roc_ent]

Hi everyone, so I have a workbook for my tenants when they pay their rent. I've created a template and have been using this method for a few years now. Today I try to make an entry and save it but when I clicked on File, two highlights came up. One said the workbook sheets are protected (which I knew about) and the other was "Read Only". When I try to save my work, I get an error message that says the file name, then You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the Administrator to obtain permission. Then... Would you like to save in the documents folder and when I click on yes I get the same message.

I've never saved a workbook as read only. I'm using Office Home and Student 2016. Would anyone know of how I can get back to my regular routine of saving my workbook.

Thanks in advance.

Have you switched PC's or added restrictions to the file when trying to protect worksheets? Check out

This is a new PC, however I've transferred all the files over and have been working off this PC for 2 months. When I go to save or save as, and click on file, two yellow parts are highlighted. Read only, and that the book is protected and any changes will not be saved in the same location or name.
