[MLO] Re: Read Only or Locked File
I realize now that the issue likely is what Alyona (MLO Support) indicated. My desktop was not located on my local drive. It was a network desktop, setup so if I logged into another computer, I would still see the same desktop. I have since moved the MLO file to my local drive. Hopefully this resolves the issue.

[MLO] Re: Read Only or Locked File
I thought that was the issue last year, so I moved my MLO file to my desktop. The program files are on my local hard drive as well. I just received the error message again today and am locked out of my file.

[MLO] Read Only or Locked File
Periodically I get the error shown in the attached file when trying to open an MLO file. It indicates that the MLO file is read only or locked by another user. I cannot figure out what triggers the file to be locked, but the icon for the MLO file is displayed as grayed out with a white "x" in the lower left corner. This is frustrating as I have to open the backup, but will have lost a modest amount of work between when I last saved the MLO and when the last backup was performed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
