Same File Open on 2 machines

[MarkH]

Hi,

Our server is running Windows 2000Server, and the
desktops are running Windows XP Pro...

Essentially, there seems to be one person in the office
that can open some files (only sometimes) whilst someone
else has the file open... this file is mostly an Office
file (we use office XP Pro) - either Word or Excel etc...

I've checked her profile on the server and she's set up
like everyone else, so can ANYONE figure out why she's
sometimes allowed to open files that are already
open!?!?!?

Thanks

Does she get notified that the file is in use at all? Have you seen this in
action yourself? Using offline files or anything like that? Can you
reproduce this at will?

The only notoficatin she gets is when she tries to dave
the file and it tells her that someone else has it open...

it only happens on some files, some of the time...

no offline files etc
