I use Office 97 on Win XP Home.
When I launch a Word file, I get a message:
"C:\...\...\File.doc is being used by Joe Bloggs. Do you
want to make a copy?"
I simply press "Cancel" and everything works fine.
This can happen even immediately after startup, when I
have been the only user.
Please advise,
Joe Bloggs :-)
