If you want i'll send a screen shot of the error; send me an email address if
you want that-
A vb dialogue box comes up that says" Word cannot open the document; user
does not have access privileges" Then the path to the file is shown-
Also, there is a 'Help' box & this is the text that comes up in it:
========================
This message can appear if a file is saved with permissions. Permissions,
also known as rights or privileges, can be applied to a file, folder, or
almost any resource available from a network (printers, shares, files,
databases, Web sites, etc). When a user attempts to open a resource that
requires specific user permissions, this message will appear if the user does
not have the necessary permissions.
Permissions can be set for individual users, groups of users, or for a
specific computer. Usually, this message appears if you are using a network
where administrators have applied permissions for specific users and groups,
or you are blocked from accessing a resource local to a specific user's
computer because of local permissions enabled by that user. If you cannot
open a resource on a file server or computer on your network, you will most
likely need to review your user account settings to determine if you have the
necessary permissions to gain access to the resource. If you do not know if
you have the necessary permissions, contact your network administrator or the
owner of the computer with the shared resources.
Usually, this message does not appear if you are using disk drives formatted
with a FAT or FAT32 file system. Drives formatted with NTFS, HPFS, or another
file format that provides the ability to apply permissions, are capable of
forcing this message.
Occasionally, the domain controller that grants users access to a network
can lose the information used to authenticate a specific user or the network
administrator has purposely turned off your account. When this happens, the
only option available to the user is to turn off and restart the computer
(you must turn off the computer to clear the cached information in the
network card). Restarting may reset the DHCP lease and the authentication
information used to grant you access to the network. If this does not work,
you must contact the network administrator to have your account reset.
There is also the possibility that the file you are attempting to open is
restricted through Information Rights Management (IRM). IRM is an alternate
form of file restriction access that allows creators of a file the ability to
limit editing, copying, printing, or forwarding of content. If the file is
restricted and you require access to its contents, you must contact the
creator or owner of the file to request addition of your user ID to the list
of users who are allowed access to the file.

I Moved some MS Word files from 1 folder to another. Now I can't open
them,
can't delete them, can't copy them. I do not have rights management
enabled
& I am an administrator on my machine.
When right-clicking and selecting Properties, ONLY the General tab comes
up,
whereas on openable MS Word files there are 3 tabs -
General/Custom/Summary.
Any assistance greatly appreciated - I can't do an auto backup on my
system
now since these files can't be copied-
