Hi there

I have a 10.4.11 Tiger server. Network users running leopard 10.5.5 and earlier are having problems opening office files. Often, but not always they receive errors like...

<file> is being modified by <user> Do you want to open it as read only?

Sometimes it says the file is corrupt and cannot be opened.

Sometimes they open just fine.

The files in question are definitely not being modified by other users. If I store the files locally, rather than in a networked served account they open normally with office products. It is only when I try and open them over the network that I get these problems.

If there is anything else I could try I would appreciate any suggestions as it is very irritating.
