You already have this open

[David DeWitt]

Whenever I open a document on the server I get the
message "you already have this open". What causes this and
how can it be stopped?

Thanks

How are you opening the files? If you are opening the files outside
the application (other than using File/Open) then it sounds like the
file associations need to be recreated.

Go to Start/Run and run the following:

winword /r
excel /regserver
powerpnt /regserver
msaccess /regserver

Note that there is a space before the forward slash.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
