OFF95: "File in Use" Opening Binder in Shared Folder (135999)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q135999 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Office Binder, when you open a Binder file located in a shared
folder, you may receive the following error message:
The Binder file could not be loaded. The file is in use by another
program.
When you click OK, an empty Binder is displayed.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when you open a Binder in a shared folder if you have
read-only access rights to the folder instead of full rights to the folder.
If you have read-only access rights to the folder that contains the Binder,
you cannot open the file as read-only. Instead, when you open the file, you
receive the error message described above, and the file is not opened.
This behavior occurs whether the folder that contains the Binder is shared
using user-level access control or share-level access control.
WORKAROUND
To open a Binder in a shared folder, you must have full access to the
folder.
To work around this problem, you can copy the Binder from the shared folder
to a folder on your local hard disk, or to a folder that you have full
access to.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in
Microsoft Office versions 7.0a and 7.0b for Windows 95.
