cant open some files on network

This is a simple wired network - desktop and laptop, both on XP home.

Occasionally (quite often, really... but not always) the laptop will
not open a document
which is on the desktop computer.. The document is usually, perhaps
always, a WordPerfect
document; but this doesn't apply to all WordPerfect documents. The
document is in a
shared folder on the desktop computer.

When attempting to open on the laptop, the error message In Use or Read
Only appears.
If I click on Yes ("you may open but not edit. Do you want to?) I then
get Access Denied.

There is no common thread here. The documents' property sheets are
identical to other
documents (eg they are not read-only documents).

Recreating the documents with new namessometimes solves the problem.

This continues to happen even with some new documents.

Otherwise the network works fine.

Please can somebody help?
