=========================================================

= SYMPTOMS =

When you try to open a Works 4.0 file from another Macintosh computer that is being shared, you receive the following error message:

Access Denied

The Works 4.0 “User’s Guide” incorrectly states that you can open as a read- only document a file that is being used by another person.

= RESOLUTION =

To share a document, use either of the following methods:

Method 1

 * 1) Open the document.
 * 2) From the File menu, choose Save As.
 * 3) In the File Format box, select Stationery.

Method 2

 * 1) Close the document.
 * 2) Select the document in the Finder.
 * 3) From the File menu, choose Get Info.
 * 4) In the Get Info dialog box, select the Stationery Pad check box.
 * 5) Close the Get Info dialog box.

= MORE INFORMATION =

You receive the “Access Denied” error message when you try to open a file that is already open on another Macintosh workstation or on the server. Works 4.0 does not allow you to open a file that is already in use by another person. This is a change from the behavior in Works versions 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x, which allow you to open a file as a read-only document when the file is already in use.
