I have a file that has been saved with read only, with only the author having
edit permissions. All other users have permissions inherited from folders
above. Even domain admins had read only. One user had to be able to edit
the document, so I unchecked the "inherit from above" box and stupidly agreed
to the message that said nobody would be able to have access, thinking as
domain admin I would be able to arrange the user to have edit permissions
later. When I clcked ok and went back in, not even read only permissions
were granted. is there any way to get this back so I can start messing with
the permissions?

Thanks
