Office files on network drive open as Read Only

by mongo617 . Updated 16 years, 4 months ago

I have a user who created a powerpoint presentation in Office 2007 and saved it to his documents folder which is redirected to the server (Server 2008 R2). When he opens the file again, it opens as read only. The only way I can get him to open the file correctly is to take the file and drag it to his desktop or a folder on his local drive. He has had this problem before with another file so we had to change permissions to the folder on the server. His other files open fine from the network. What could be causing this? Any ideas?
