Hi Tom,

Appleworks is not a mulit-user application and does not create files that
can be open by more than one user at a time whether they exist on a file
server or not.  Once a file is open, a second user attempting to open the
same file should get a dialog box indicating that the file is busy or in
use.

You will find that most applications behave this way.
