= SUMMARY =

The first user to open any Microsoft Works document from a server has read/write privileges. This means that this user can make changes and save the document back to the server with the same name.

If a second user opens the same document, the document will be opened with Read-Only privileges. This means that the second user cannot make changes to the document and then save the document to the server using the same name. The second user must choose the Save As command from the File menu and give the file a new name, or retain the same name and save the document to another folder or disk.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Works 4.0
This does NOT apply to Works 4.0. If a document has been opened by one person on a network, and another person attempts to open it, the second person receives the error message, “Access Denied.”

For more information about sharing network files in Works 4.0, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
