Office2003 and Temp files?

D

Doc

Hello,
Have a smallish Srv2003 Windows Domain, all users have XP and are using
Office 2003.
Problem:
Within a restricted folder (rights are to selected users and domain
admins - giving these few ALL RIGHTS) I have created six Word2003
documents. There is NO INHERITED rights on any of these Word documents.
Each user has full rights to their own document. The folder shows all
selected users and they have read, write, modify but not full rights
to the folder (and as I said, have FULL rights to each file).

ISSUE is that when the Word document is opened, the customary .tmp file
is created (three actually, I would guess one .tmp file for each user
with rights to that document?? Not sure why three) - user can modify and
save the work document but WHEN they exit Word, the .tmp files remain
and they (the specific user) cannot delete the temp files. An
ADMINISTRATOR can.

Normally, don't those files (.tmp) "go away" when Office is closed or
before? I can't have a million tmp files. Thanks for any help.

This problem is solved. I had inadvertently not allowed the 'modify'
right to the parent folder. No delete right there in. My goof! Thanks.
