Here's the setup: 2 PCs, both with Word 97 on Win 98 SE, on a peer-to-
peer LAN.
We were working on separate documents in the same folder on my PC, but
when SWMBO tried to save the document she was working on, the message
"Word cannot delete the old backup file because it is read-only or
another user has it open. (\\...\filename.doc)." appeared.
She was able to save it only if I closed the document I was working on.
This isn't a major problem as the situation arises less than once in a
blue moon, but I'm intrigued.
Is there any way around this?
