SYMPTOMS
When you open a Pocket Excel file marked with the Read-Only attribute, you receive the following message:

'\ .pxl' is read-only. Tap OK to open the document read-only.

If you attempt to open a second Pocket Excel (.pxl) file marked with the Read-Only attribute, you may receive the following error message:

Fatal Application Error. Application PXL.exe has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when any of the following conditions exists:
 * You attempt to open a second .pxl file marked with the Read-Only attribute before you close the read-only notification message you receive when you open the first .pxl marked with the Read-Only attribute.
 * You attempt to open two .pxl files marked with the Read-Only attribute simultaneously.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
 * 1) When you receive the read-only notification message for the first .pxl file, tap OK.
 * 2) Open the second .pxl file.
