Yes, it is how it works on Windows file servers.

I think the problem is, when Word opens a file, it puts an oplock on it.
When word opens the file a second time, it sees that oplock and refuses
to open it as anything other than read-only. I'm not sure if this is
how it acts on Windows file servers, but I suspect it is.

hello
I'm having the following problem:
On a share I have a user with read-only access to word files.
Another
user has read-write access to these files.
When the user with read-only access opens a word file and then the
user with read-write access to these files opens the file, the
read-write user has only read-only access.
If the read-write user opens the word file first, then he has
read-write access.
My question:
Why doesn't a user with read-write access always has these
permissions?
