SYMPTOMS
When you choose Open By in the Properties dialog box in File Manager of a remote file located in a directory with spaces in the directory name, information on users with the file(s) currently open that is displayed is incorrect.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do the following in File Manager:


 * 1) Stop sharing the network directory.
 * 2) Rename the directory in 8.3 directory format or without spaces in the directory name.
 * 3) Share the directory again.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and Server versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
