Re: Shared file in use/Read Only access question ...
Yeah, after further review the user does some to have a weird issue there -
if we open the file from User1's machine and then try to open it from other
machines in the office it does say 'File locked and in use by User1' (or
something to that effect) and gives like three options. But if we leave the
same file open by User1 and open it from this one particular machine it says
'File in use by"" ' and the name is blank. But as mentioned, several
machines that are running the same versions of Windows and Office do in fact
display the name from the exact same file. Weird ... Not sure if that could
be a firewall issue, or security issue, or perhaps some extra add-ins needed
for this one particular user's Office installation, or perhaps something else
(??).
