Re: Documents become read only

That doesn't answer the critical question:

When you examine one of these documents when it is reported as Read Only, is
it Read Only at Word level (that is, has the document been set to Read Only
when you look in the Save options) or has it been given a read only
attribute at Windows level (that is, open Windows Explorer and see what
attributes have been set in its file properties)?

Hi,

I do have the same issue, though not all users having this issue but couple
of users have to rename the working files very often, I am running on W2K
Domain and users on XP and office 2003, all the updates are happenning
regularly through WSUS, the only change I think was installing 2007 viewer.
Can this have any effect,

Cheers,

Helpdesk

What type of Network are they connecting to the server, what type of Server
OS, etc? Any firewalls (ISA server)?
