Hi, i've a very strange problem with MS Office.
We've stored a lot of excel and word docs on a Windows 2003 fileserver.
Normally we always open this doc's without problems.
But now since a few days we get the message "this file must be opened as
read-only.....etc"
The file is not read only with attrib on the file but in the word doc by
options / security / read-only (this strange option is ON by the problem
documents).
When i send the doc by e-mail to another person, outside the domain we've
the same problem.
If you click "No" when there is the question, you can normal open the Doc.
If you uncheck this option "read only" in Word and then "save" the problem
is solved. This is not an option for me because there are lot's of files with
this problem.
The problem is not by one user, but several users have the same problem.
It does'nt matter if this user uses Office 2003 or 2007, same problem.
This is the software we use:
Office 2003 Pro (SPII) and Office 2007 Pro on Windows XP Pro (SPII and some
have SPIII) With all this versions the same problem.
Question is:
1. how can i give a lot of word/excel files the uncheck for read-only?
2. how is it possible that we suddenly have this problem...
Thanks for your answers!!!
