Dear Chris and USCMatt,
I may have missed the beginning part of your thread, but maybe you've
encountered a similar problem, and perhaps have found a workaround:
If a file residing on my Vista machine is opened across my network for
editing on an XP machine, the file is opened only as "Read Only." Is there a
way to allow the remote XP machine to edit an re-save that file, i.e., to
remove the read-only restriction when the Vista file is opened by the
networked XP machine.
(I simply need to allow my secretary using an XP machine to edit are re-save
a draft of a Word document I've created as a draft, the file residing on my
Vista machine.)
All permissions are set open, as far as I can tell.
Thanks very much!
