It was a solution, yes. However, it was not the answer to the question I asked.

But the answer given to you was a solution.

I disagree. I presented a scenario and asked a "yes" or "no" question. I supplied enough information for a "yes" or "no" answer. I did not ask for assistance with a design or a solution, just a simple question about whether or not Exchange has the capability to do what I asked.

I think Ed's answer was appropriate given the amount of information you gave out in your first post.

Subject: RE: Force opening PF attachments as Read-Only? The document management suggestion was inappropriate because we have a single document that 2 people have modify rights to and another dozen or so people can read. So deploying a DMS is an expensive solution when the problem boils down to preventing 2 people from modifying one particular file at the same time. Especially if there is an inherent method within Exchange to prevent the problem from happening in the first place, which is really all I wanted to know. Thank you for your answer though.

The answer was correct. What Ed left out was the "No." at the front in answer to your question of whether there is any way to prevent multiple editors of an attachment to a public folder. Did you go look at the 80-20 web site and see what features there product offers? What exactly makes the suggestion of a product which may solve your problem inappropriate? There are also lots of others with different feature sets as Ed alluded. As for little value to the thread, complaining because you didn't get the answer you wanted regardless of the veracity of the answer really has low value. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Clishe Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2003 7:19 PM To: Exchange Discussions Cc: Jason Clishe Subject: RE: Force opening PF attachments as Read-Only? "Deploy a real document management system"? Not only does this suggestion not asnwer the question I asked, it is completely inappropriate for my particular situation, and adds little value to this thread.

Deploy a real document management system, one that has the capability to check out and check in documents. http://www.80-20.com is one that integrates with Exchange. There are many others that may or may not integrate with Exchange.

When a user has a Public Folder attachment open, other users can also open the same attachment and make changes. Is there any way to prevent this? For example, to force the document to open as read-only when someone else has it open?
