Hello readers,
Lately, staff members have stated that their only able to open
certain Lotus files (file types 123; WK*) in the Read-Only mode. All
staff members are running either Windows 2000 Pro SP3 or Windows XP Pro
SP1 with the Lotus 1-2-3 97 client install from the Windows 2000
Server. Staff access Lotus documents from the server. The actual
message that appears, when accessing certain Lotus files is: "The file
you tried to open is in use, would you like to open it in Read-Only
mode" Each time I confirm that no one in the department is using the
file (or the Lotus Application itself) at that time. But the staff
member is still prompted by the "Read-Only" message. What's strange, is
the majority of the Lotus files located in the same shared network
folders on the Server as the files in question are accessible and are
able to be modified. BTW, staff members stated that they were able to
access and modify the Lotus files in question in the previous months.
Any assistance would be gladly appreciated.
