I know that - but OOo obviously used to determine this differently, because it *used* to work fine. > It makes no sense to have the lock file saved differently on your > machine, as this would permit the simultaneous edits that are trying > to be prevented in the first place. Actually, that is true... what I want is for OOo to *fall-back* to the previous method it used for determining if a file was already opened for editing when it is unable to create the lock file. > To solve your problem, get your IT department to set your write > permissions properly. It sounds as if you have EDIT but not CREATE > flags set. *I* am the IT department, and the permissions *are* set properly. I want certain users to be able to *edit* documents that reside in directories that they do *not* have the ability to create *new* documents in. As I said, it worked properly like this for *years* prior to OOo starting to use lock files like MSO does. Another example of a step *backwards* in the name of 'progress'. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
