We share files on a network and when one of my co-workers creates a file it
is read-only when opened on my computer. This does not happen when another
co-worker opens up the same file. I am running XP, they are running Windows
97. Would that make a difference? I know I am set up with administrator
privileges for my computer.

As I write this questions he created a form and I got this message when I
tried to open the file: Word cannot open the document: user does not have
access privileges.

Any thoughts?

Eric

It seems you don't have write access to the folder in which the document is
being saved.
