Good answer.
You appear to be talking about a live editing session on the file - wouldn't
it be dangerous to allow it to be edited while someone else has it open and
might be modifying it? If they make changes after you've opened it, you
won't see those changes... if you make changes after they've opened it, they
won't see your changes?
If they have it open read-only, you'd be waiting until they closed it before
you could save it with any changes... this doesn't seem like a great
situation for the user, to be denied saving changes until someone else
relinquishes it? You'd have to go over and tell them to close it otherwise
you could be there waiting for a long time!
