\\Share\\Frm.doc is being used by gsg210. copy?

[VictorReinhart]

Hi,
I have a Word 97 macro which gives the above error message. Here is the code:

Documents.Open FileName:=ls_doc$, ReadOnly:=True

This has worked well for a long time, but now this problem is happening.

What can I do?

Thank you.

Presumably ls_doc$ is a reference to \\Share\Frm.doc. The message is telling
you that another user (gsg210) is also using this file and asking whether
you want to make a copy. Someone else is running the same macro?

Hi,
Yes, someone else is running the same macro. We saw this message
before, and solved it using "ReadOnly:=True" in the Open command.

There is a common share on a W2K Server with over 200 Word documents.
Multiple users need to access this share, read the documents, then do
mail merges and save the results to their local hard drives.

Currently, we use Open with ReadOnly:=True, and that seemed to work
for 1 1/2 years, until now.

What can I do?

Thanks
