Hit the jackpot! Thanks very much. In Access details 'Public write' had been set to 'No' On setting this to 'Yes' the file will then open but when I go back to the access details it has reverted to 'No' So "Thanks" - we can at least access them now - my wife thinks you are wonderful for suggesting that ;-) >>Of the three chapters giving this message I managed to open one on a >>Win machine. > Do you mean via VA or VRPC or rpcemu (ie an emulated RO machine, with the > emulation running under Windows), or do you mean using OvProWin? OProWin on a Win machine which acts as a 'server' to the network. > DO you mean trying to open the exact same files, or copies of them copied to > the Windows machine? Opening the exact same files that are stored on the Win machine that is our 'server' with a 1Tb HDD and all our work on it. What would cause the the file to switch the setting to 'No' - there are a dozen chapters, all being worked on concurrently, so why would three of them suddenly become 'locked'?
