------- Additional comments from yv...@openoffice.org Thu Feb 25 15:59:19 +0000 2010 ------- We have a similar problem where there's one person controlling a MS Excel spreadsheet and all the others can use it for reference. The file is setup to open read only or read/write with a password. The master can open the file at any time to modify it and the other users can open it for reference (read only) at any time using MS Excel. With OpenOffice, if at least one user has it opened read only, the master can not modify the file. He has to find all the users that have the file opened and ask them to close it before being able to modify the file. This is more a bug than a feature or is a bad feature. Is there a way in the options to fix this?? I looked but I didn't find anything.
