can I ask what permission is set on the drive or folder for the user? =20 Best and regards, Thomas Nathan Chan -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Matt Franzen Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2003 7:33 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Office XP read only when opening files? I have 150 new Laptops I am rolling out with XP-Pro and office XP. My users as they get these new IBM laptops are complaining that when they try and open there own files on the servers that some of them come up as read only. People have suggested cleaning up temp files but there are none when these are new systems. I have also verified share and file permissions on the servers. This problem did not start until we went to XP and Office XP users still on 2000 are fine. =20 I did come across something, I caught a string that talked about the macro security settings being to high, so I have a couple of test users that I have changed from High to Low to see if the problem continues. Any ideas? =20 Matt =20 =20 Matthew Franzen Network Engineer =20 ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to=20 mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
