hi bob,

file locking office function instead of windows server.

whether dfs involved in case? if so, caused if users accessing domain based dfs namespace directed 2 different servers access same version of file.

if users indeed accessing same file on same server/shared folder, test delete all temp files created in shared folder before opening file , see result. if issue still exists, post office forum further information.
