Has anyone run into problems opening document files located on a Windows 2000 server, where it would pop up a message stating file is locked by user? No other person is using the file and the file attributes and Windows permissions are set properly. The server is running the latest patches w/ the exception of SP3.

Hi

I tried to delete a profile from the server and i had the same problem. I overcame this by taking ownership of the folder and all subdirectories and it did the trick.

I would like to point out that if you have to take ounership as a admin it normaly means the folder was encrypted. Ya I know shoot that guy he can't spell!!!!!!!!!!!

The files are not encrypted and the ownership is with the Administrator. Everything is set the way it should be except it won't let me open them up from the server. I can open the files w/ no problem on a local PC.
