Hi Leah,

Thanks for the OS information. Some of the previous thoughts still apply,
but I'll reiterate one which has tripped up the software my company creates.

How draconian is your IT department? Check the permissions on the C:\Program
Files\Adobe\FrameMaker7.0\ folder as well as the folder to which you're
saving files. You may need to add Full Control of the folder explicitly to
one or both of those. If you're not an administrator on the local machine,
this becomes even more important. 

Have you tried doing the Save As to an implicitly writable folder like
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\? (It shows up as "Shared
Documents" in the folder tree at the left.) Your desktop is another option.

Hope this helps,
Lea

Sorry guys, didn't include vital information

I am on Windows XP.

Actually the Can't Lock File For Your Use problem is huger than appeared. FM
won't even let me do Save As.  I tried the Save As strategy and get the same
Cannot Lock File dialog again.  Help! Help!
