Bob, A project I'm working on has recently found that there can be issues editing files, especially large files, directly on the server. Microsoft and Adobe in particular but it seems true of any complex or large file. The best practice, specifically mentioned by Adobe for one, is to copy the file from the server to the local drive, makes changes, save it and then copy it back. I can't tell if this is relevant to this particular case but it might be.
I like Pat and Chip's points too. There are a lot of things involved in the scenario you describe.
