Recently a new problem has started with File Locking.
One user can open a Word or Excel file from a workstation, then another user can open the same file both with Read/Write access. The file is not getting locked when opened by the first user. Use to be the 2nd user on would get the normal Would You Like To
Open the File in Read-Only Mode? message. This started about a week or two ago and i see no reason for it. Nothing has changed server wise or with the users. Any suggestions as to what might suddently allow multiple users to open the same document from
the same server all with R/W privilages? And when they go to save the file they get a ....Is Currently In Use. Try Again Later. Error.
Server is server WinServer 2008 R2 standard, with about 20 workstations running mix of xp/vista/win7.
