I have just installed XP in place of Win 98. I have also
installed MS Office 97. I uploaded my My Documents files
from previous

When I go into My Documents and open both Word and Excel
files, a dialogue box tells me that there is another file
of the same name or it is being used by John Lynch, who
is my self of course. It appears that the files, even
after amendment or creation of new files, are mirrored.
For example: opening an Excel file, dialogue box shows:
"A document with the same name 'Attendance expected.xls'
is already open. You cannot open two documents with the
same name even if the documents are in different
folders. To open the second document, either close the
document that's currently open, or rename one of the
documents."
Any help please?
