"open somewhere else" message...unable to save

[Bill Duckett]

I use MS Word in my lab, 20 students at a time. Their home is on the
server, so they are able to sign on to their home folder anywhere on
campus. Lately when my students attempt to save their files, they
receive an error message that claims the file is open somewhere else.
They must then cancel out of three windows that pop up and use 'save
as' to replace the file. Has anyone encountered this problem? What
did you do to solve it?

Thanks,
