I found a post from December 2008 which seems to be having the same problem
as we encounter. There was no answer on this post - so hoping things may have
been addressed?
Using MS Project 2007 - all project plans are stored and accessed on a
shared server.
I cannot quantify exactly how and when it happens.
Initially I thought that it was my Master Plan causing problems as linked
into all other individual projects. If one of our PM's has a project open it
seems to change to Read Only if I open the Master Plan. I do not get a
warning message to say locked by another user like I would if I opened the
individual project. Generally the project changes to Read Only on the
individual project when this occurs, meaning they have to do a save as - and
then I have to correct Master Plan with name changes etc.
Last week though one of my PM's though had this problem several times and I
was not in the office and hence the Master Plan was not interfering. He does
not just update the plan and save - he constantely multi-tasks - meaning when
he returns to the project - some time later - it changes to read-only.
Hoping that there is an answer ?
