Hi =?Utf-8?B?TmVhbA==?=,
When I write Word Document to a network drive using Visual Studio tools for
Office 2003 they become read only. When I do this to a local drive they are
okay. A document writen straight from Word to the network are okay also. Is
there something I am doing or is there a VS fix for this.Please show us the code you're using to create and save the document (a very
simple document!).
How do you find out that these are "read-only"? By trying to open them again,
or some other way? Is the "read-only" attribute applied at the file level? Or
is Word seeing the files as "locked"?
Note that NET doesn't necessarily release object variables + the objects which
they represent immediately. Have you ever run into the term "garbage
collection" when learning about NET? If not, search on that in Help and on the
MSDN website. The problem may be that these objects aren't being released.
The other possibility (that might be related to the above) is that the "temp"
files Word uses to manages document editing are not getting released and
deleted properly. This will also cause Word to see a document as "read-only"
because it thinks it's still open somewhere. Perhaps you can track down where
these are being created and see if the necessary file permissions exist so
that they can be removed.
