Hi Ramana
Thank you for the reply and the pointers . However in my case I have copied six files from one network and pasted them in my network to publish them from the new location .
Out of 6 , 5 open in read only mode and I am able to publish it again from the new location . the 6th one however doesnt open at all and hence cant check the security settings in the form tab .
Regards
Kamal
