"Locked for Editing" and Read Only Problem with Office 2007
We have a small business network with some computers having Office 2003 and
some with Office 2007. Most of our files are saved on the network as Office 2003 files. When we started using Office 2007, we started to experience this problem. If I try to open a file that nobody has open, it will tell me that the file is "locked for editing" by the last person who used it. My options are to open it Read Only, Notify, and Cancel. If I click Cancel and then try to open the document again, it will allow me to without telling me it is locked. The strangest thing is that if I was the last person to open the document, it will tell me that it is locked for editing by me when I am the one trying to open it. It is very annoying because any file that I want to open, I have to do it twice. Thanks for any advice. |

"Locked for Editing" and Read Only Problem with Office 2007
We are having the exact same issue, but haven't found a cause or solution. We
get it even on email attachments. "Adam" wrote: We have a small business network with some computers having Office 2003 and some with Office 2007.
