SYMPTOMS
When attempting to open a file on a Novell NetWare network share, you may
receive the following error message:
The file \<path>\filename.xxx could not be accessed because another
workstation has modified it.
CAUSE
This error occurs under the following conditions:
- You are using Novell's NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95 version 2.11.
- An program marked for recording in the Microsoft Outlook 97 Journal,
saved the file.
This behavior occurs even if Outlook is closed, because the Journal feature
monitors activity for the program at all times.
RESOLUTION
In Outlook, turn off Journaling for the program in question.
-or-
Wait until the Novell Client releases the Duplicate Handle Function before
reopening the file.
-or-
Install the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks.
