Yeah, Brian I am quite meek and mild and extremely peaceful, but I just
don't suffer fools and failures easily.

All very interesting...but focus on me guys.
Yes I am on a p2p network.
Yes the file is located on an associates hard drive. Cannot access from his computer either.
Yes I have NAV running. Disabled it & no luck.
Same files have been used and edited for thepast year+. No problems.

Well, until you answered the questions there wasn't much we could do except
mill around.

Yes I am on a p2p network.
Yes the file is located on an associates hard drive. Cannot access
from his computer either.

Copy the file(s) to your local hard drive, and open them from there.

Yes I have NAV running. Disabled it & no
luck.

Disable Script Blocking and the Microsoft Office PlugIn.

I asked a similar question further up the line (sorry).
All of Kevin's particulars apply to me as well, except
that I can't copy the file to my harddrive (it gives me
an error). I tried deactivating Script Blocking as well
as the Office plug-in and still no luck either opening it
in Publisher or copying it to the hard drive. Any other
suggestions? Thanks!

When trying to open a file from another computer, I receive
an error message saying that (path/filename) cannot be
opened because it is currently being used by another
program. It then tells me to quit the program and try
again. I have done that numerous times and rebooted both
computers (numerous times) and I still get the same error
message. It only happens with certain files. When trying to
copy it from the hard drive of the other computer to mine,
it gives me an "Access Denied" error message and suggests
that my hard drive may be full (it is not) or that the file
is write protected (it is not nor is the section of the
hard drive I tried to copy it to). Thanks.

Are you able to copy other files from the same location to your local hard
drive?
Can you copy it from where it is to another area of the remote hard drive
before copying it over?
If you log on to the remote computer (either via Remote Desktop or locally),
are you able to copy the file to your computer? Or to another area of the
PC in question?
