I looked up a number of issues that were kindly pointed out. It appears that the problems are related, but the circumstances are slightly different. It also seems that the problem is difficult to reproduce. With respect to the file-locking issue, does anyone know how to turn that off in Windows? Or should I? I probably don't understand file-locking enough to ask intelligent questions, but if another person tries to access the file at the same time, shouldn't the file be locked while I am using it? If I turn it off, does that mean that more than one person could access it, leading to possible data loss or corruption? Shouldn't Windows take care of this instead of OOo?
Thanks to all for taking the time to research this and reply. What nice, helpful people! Warm regards, Dave --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
