I currently have two machines that are networked together. One machine is for a full-time receptionist and the other for an assistant. Both computers have Microsoft Word and Wordperfect but the files are all being saved on the receptionist PC. Documents created in Word can be opened and edited on both machines however documents reated in Wordperfect can not be resaved with their original file name on the receptionist PC if you are using the part-time PC. A message saying that the file is read only appears and you can choose to resave the file however it can not be saved anywhere but locally.

Because Microsoft Word files work fine, I believe all the file sharing properties are set correctly. Could it be wordperfect?

I don't know a whole lot about WordPerfect, but let me ask you this: are the Word and WordPerfect files in the same folder on the receptionist PC?

Also, someone who does know WordPerfect might be better able to answer if you give the versions of Windows (or other OS), Word, and WordPerfect that you are using.

The computer storing the files is runngin Windows XP Professional and the computer accessing the files is running Windows XP Home. Both computers are running Wordperfect Version 11.
