fieldy,
RegMan was basically correct.
Owner File (Same Directory as Source File):
When a previously saved file is opened for editing,
printing or review, Word creates a temporary file with
a .doc file name extension that begins with a tilde "~"
followed by a dollar sign "$" followed by the remainder of
the original file name. This temporary file holds the
logon name of person opening the file and is known as
the "owner file." When you attempt to open a file that is
available on a network and is already open by someone
else, this file supplies the <user name> for the following
error message:
"This file is already opened by <user name>. Would you
like to make a copy of this file for your use?"
If the Owner File is damaged or missing the error message
changes to:
"This file is already opened by another user. Would you
like to make a copy of this file for your use?"
Word automatically deletes this temporary file when the
original file is closed from memory.
Sometimes the last step fails.
