HI,

Were saving to a shared drive, but not sharing documents, each pupil/student 
has alloted space on certain drives.  also, our documents are locked as you 
stated  so that if you open one already open by someone else its read only.

These are unique documents, it happens at various tiomes, I don't belive its 
ever happen to our students which use a lab with win2k i think its just the 
teachers wich most are running xp pro


thanks though
