Straight from the help files...

SetAttr Statement Example
This example uses the SetAttr statement to set attributes for a file.

SetAttr "TESTFILE", vbHidden ' Set hidden attribute.
SetAttr "TESTFILE", vbHidden + vbReadOnly ' Set hidden and read-only
' attributes.
Click to expand...

To clear the read-only attibute...

SetAttr "TESTFILE", vbNormal
