I filled an application form online and when I tried to send it as an attachment, I got the message read only. I am not sure what am I supposed to do as I do not want it to be read only. Please help. Thanks

    Depends on the software used to create the online form. If it was an online submission form, it may just have been a simple script to capture the information, and present it in a list form, or to populate fields in a template held on the web server. If you tried to send this as an attachment, there will be no application to open it (except as a simple text doc), therefore none to amend it, and that's why it may be read only.
    I haven't been asked to tell you that I'm the [highlight]Board Drunk[/highlight] for this board. As the night wears on, my posts will become worse, with simple spelling mistakes, inane ramblings, and a blatant disregard for the truth. I have no authority to do anything, so there's no point asking or telling me. If you see me past midnight, please tell me to get my coat and order me a taxi.
