Template locked for editing by another user error when using netwo
Hi,
I have a Word 2007 template located in my network folder (E:\templates\test.dotx). If I create a regular document from the template and save it in my local drive (C:\abc.docx), next time when I open abc.docx file I get the "test.dotx is locked for editing by 'another user'" message and I can open abc.docx only in read only or local copy etc modes. The template file is not used by any other person, and I can delete/rename the file after closing the Word program. If I try to delete the template file while the error message is displayed, I get the message " The file is used by Microsoft Office Word" and it cannot be deleted. I copied the template to my local drive and created a docx from it, and the error did not occur. It looks like the problem is related to using network folders but I was not able to find any solutions from Google or MSDN. The problem happens on both dotx and dotm. Cleaning out temp files and disabling the anti virus program did not help. Did anyone had this problem and found a solution, would you share it with me? I appreciate any comments in advance. -- mk |
