MS Office documents locking itself when user is trying to save it on a network drive.

As the subject states I am having a issue with a user that when he is trying to save a document it is stating that the file is in use by another user.... for every single document he tries to save to.
I made a test account and assigned it to the same domain group and it does the same thing but the user said this didn't start happening until a few days ago and nobody changed the groups NTFS permissions for this folder.
I checked the file server for file locks and it is stating that he is the one locking it with read/write permissions.
He can save to other documents fine that is non MS Office related, and if he opens the file going through the MS Office program instead of opening it from the windows explorer viewer it saves fine.
Now I looked at his NTFS permissions since another department at my job seems to think this is NTFS related but he has read/write/modify access but does not have access to delete.
When I give him the access to be able to delete in this folder everything works fine but I don't feel the risk is justifiable to give him access to delete files just so he can save MS Office documents when he should be able to save to begin with.
I tried looking on the internet for a couple hours and couldn't find anything that quite fit this situation.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jonathan,
You would need to user Adobe creative cloud packager which creates an installation package and deploy to users machines. i assume, you are installing Adobe creative cloud desktop app from a network drive which is not recommended.

    When I send open office documents to a PC user (even saved and sent in the word format), the document reaches with serious format changes and is rendered unusable to the PC user. How to overcome the problem??

    I don't use OpenOffice (I have it on my internal just to play around with, but seldom even open it). I do use MS Word and have few problems sharing files - it's usually a font issue so I tend to use MS fonts for documents that I know will need to be shared.
    Unless you need to make collaborative changed to the document, you could always save it as a pdf file. With Acrobat Pro you can even save a pdf file to a Word document with very little change in formatting.
    If I were you - and you have a need for .doc or .docx files to travel and play nicely - I'd just invest in MS Office. If you don't have to send a Word file, try pdf.

  • My daughter created a movie using iMovie, which she has worked on for a month, when trying to save it on a jump drive she was asked to "finalize" the movie...now there is no record of it at all. Any ideas how I could try and retrieve the file?

    My daughter created a movie using iMovie 11, which she has worked on for a month. When trying to save it on a jump drive she was asked to "finalize" the movie, and while this was running (quoted 13 hours!) she received an error message. Now there is no record of it at all, I have looked in trash etc. Any ideas how I could try and retrieve the file?

    The file cannot be reloaded in iMovie using File > Open Recent  ??
    There is no trace of the file in a Spotlight search?
    The project files are not under <user>/Movies/iMovie Projects ??
    Finalizing creates small, medium and large version of the finished video. It does take a long time, but it should not destroy your project files.
    Oh, and you really MUST have a backup of your files. You can expect to lose files if you have no other copies of them.

  • We have upgraded to BI7 and When I am trying to save a query as workbook

    Thanks in adavance,

    Thanks Bernd:  I am using Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro.  I did get a response from Dave Marchant which directed me how to find the layers icon and I found the options icon as suggested in Adobe Help.  However, the options do not allow me to choose an option of either merging layers or flattening layers.  I am a novice at this and am trying to get this 1-page pdf graphic to convert to a Word document.  Is it possible that I already have a single layer pdf and that Word is doing something weird during the conversion?  I tried to convert the document yesterday and I ended up with two pages in Word.  One page had the text boxes and one had the river channels on which the text boxes had been inserted.  This is not a document I created.  We have been struggling for 5 years at various times to get this one page document into Word so that it can be used in multiple reports.  Even the graphics departments at a couple of companies have not been able to get this document resized from the original 11 x 17 format into 8.5 x 11.  I managed to get that done yesterday.  But now can't get a useable version into Word.  Suggestions?

  • Since installing Maverick, all Adobe CC apps crash when I am trying to save or import.

    Since installing Maverick, all Adobe CC apps crash when I am trying to save or import.  I might be able to save the file if I do not try to select anything other folder than the current folder that opens (last opened).  I do not use the cover view option (I see some have had problems with that), but almost always have it in list view.
    Is there some setting I need to set or is there a fix for this somewhere?
    Also, is it just me or does it seem like Mac crashes more now with Maverick than before?

  • DFS-R - Office Documents locked problem

    Dear Forum Members,
    Recently I faced a really "threatening" problem, which you may seen before so know the solution for it. We had an old File Server, used Disk2VHD to move it's complete D: drive to another Windows Server 2012 R2. After this, we enabled DFS replication
    for the whole drive to another Active Directory site WS2012R2 file server (just for backup). It is important that we use DFS-N for users to discover this share but they have folder targets JUST for the first one server, the second one is just for backup purposes.
    The problem is that DFS-R comes with default exclusions (~*, *.bak, *.tmp), but in order to keep full sync, we removed them. Now users complain that several times they can not save Office documents (typically excel) because the files are locked! Even for
    NEW files, when they try to save an .xls/.xlsx from Outlook, the file is imeediately locked!
    After this we put back the exclusions immediately, because we taught that the problem comes from the Office temporary files. The event log contained a lot of warnings that tmp files could not be synced because of locked. Now I can not see other tmp files
    warnings anymore, but there are still warnings in the DFS log, for example:
    Event ID 4302 - The DFS Replication service has been repeatedly prevented from replicating a file due to consistent sharing violations encountered on the file. The service failed to stage a file for replication due to a sharing violation.
    And this is for an .xlsm file.
    What else could be the problem? Has anyone ran in this situation already?
    Thank you a lot for any help,
    Best Regards,
    Christian

    Hi,
    Sorry for the delay reply.
    DFS Replication uses staging folders for each replicated folder to act as caches for new and changed files that are ready to be replicated from sending members to receiving members. These files are stored under the local path of the replicated folder in
    the DfsrPrivate\Staging folder. So if no new files and changed files, the folder is empty.
    For more detailed information, you could refer to the similar thread about
    DFS Staging Folder

  • Office prompts for windows login, when i'm trying to save edited document

    Hello, i'm trying to disable webdav in office 2010.
    My setup is: Apache 2.2.4 with Kerberos "mod_auth_kerb" enabled, works fine.
    So fare i have this config:
    .htaccess:
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(OPTIONS|PROPFIND|HEAD)$ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Microsoft\ Office\ Core\ Storage\ Infrastructure.*$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Microsoft\ Office\ Protocol\ Discovery [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Microsoft\ Office\ Existence\ Discovery [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Microsoft\-WebDAV\-MiniRedir.*$
    RewriteRule .* - [R=501,L]
    This config, disables the login, which came everytime i opened the document in Internet Explorer.
    But when document is opened and i want to save the document, i get a windows login prompt.
    This is my access log, which shows office tries to access the webserver, but anonymously.

    Hello,
    in addition to my question here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/eb068660-5ded-411e-bfc1-6f18ba7bc585/office-prompts-for-windows-login-when-im-trying-to-save-edited-document?forum=officeitproprevious
    Can someone tell my, how does the Microsoft Office Single Sign on work ?
    From what i understand, ms office opens the document (when through IE) and tries to create a webdav connection.
    I have tried to disable the webdav on apache.
    But the entire webserver is mod_auth_kerb "protected".
    And in the access-log, i can see this:
    IP, DATETIME, [email protected] document....
    But also: IP, DATETIME - document <--- None authenticated user... Why does microsoft not use the current user?
    I have tried to ssl enable the website, which i read in this thread: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2123563
    But Microsoft Office stills act as anonymous user.

  • Gateway failed error when users are trying to loginto the portal

    Hi,
    when the users are trying to log into the portal, the following error msg is displaying. most of the users are facing this problem
    "Connect to SAP gateway failed Connect_PM TYPE=B MSHOST=abcxyz144 GROUP=GP1 R3NAME=GP1 MSSERV=sapmsGP1 PCS=1 LOCATION"
    is the problem from r/3 system or from portal?  if it is from portal, what settings have to be done & if it is r/3 what have to be checked for the particular user to avoid such error message
    reply soon as this is very urgent issue.
    regards
    vv

    this is likely to be missing entries in your services file on the portal server.
    I would expect to see
    sapmsGP1 36xx
    or similar.  You might also want to make sure that you portal server can resolve the DNS name of your R/3 system.  ping abcxyz144 from the portal node to make sure.

  • Display message when user again trying to respond survey?

    When User Try To Respond Survey Again ,Displaying Some Error message ,but i want to display A User Friendly Message...
    I Read Some Article But Not Found Any Solution Yet,help me
    AKshay Nangare

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display a friendly message when user repeat to respond the survey.
    I suggest you can check if the survey count for current log in user exists using JavaScript Client Object Model and Caml Query, if exists, you can alert a window with some friendly message.
    Here is a detailed code demo for your reference:

  • Permission denied when in windows trying to save files to the MacHD

    I just made the huge leap from a Dell Laptop to the Mac Book Pro and I can't be more thrilled about it! With change, obviously comes with some challenges, not the least of which is my lack of knowledge on the new platform.
    Because I had some programs I wanted to keep that were more robust in the Windows environment than Mac OS, I set up a dual boot. It works great.
    For the first few days I was able to write while in Mac to the Windows Drive and while in Windows to the Mac drive.
    Now, for some reason, and I'm not sure what change I made or installation caused it, but I'm now getting "denied access you don't have permission to write to this drive" when I'm in windows trying to save doc's to the Mac. I keep everything in one place.
    I used disc utility and verify and repair permissions, there was a bunch of code on the screen it says it fixed it except one area in the library it said it couldn't modify. This is all greek to me at this point.
    Im at the point of reinstalling the OSX system with the archive and install, to see if a 'reset' in that fashion would work.
    Any help for a Mac Newbie would be appreciated. The learning curve is fun.

    As you have found out, Paragon HFS+ and MacDrive allow you to write from Windows to Mac, while booted in Windows, but you may also want to get Paragon's NTFS for Mac or NTFS Mounter (free) which also enable you to write to the Windows partition while booted in Mac. These install on the Mac side of course. I often use these to put files on the Windows desktop (or elsewhere) I know I may want next time I boot to Windows.
    Paragon's NTFS for Mac is seamless compared to NTFS Mounter, but is more expensive, and also requires a slightly different process (via the Paragon pref pane) to boot from Mac to Windows.
    BTW I have experience of both MacDrive 8 and Paragon HFS+. Both work but I had Paragons HFS+ installed when I tried to update to Windows 7 Service Pack 1 recently, and it kept failing. There was a thread about it here somewhere, where a number of other people had the same problem. The culprit was Paragon HFS+. Uninstalled Paragon HFS+ and the update went through. MacDrive 8 was OK, and I have stayed with it since then.
    MacDrive 8 is good and has good support, but it has the most draconian activation policy I have ever encountered. You can deactivate in order to use the SN on another computer, but if you forget or the hard drive fails you will get a message about exceeding allowed number of activations. Support are very quick to reset it when this happens, but it is irksome.

  • How to make InDesign CS5 documents lock to other users on network when open

    We have multiple users using InDesign CS5 across our network.  In InDesign CS4 when one person had a page open, it was locked to any other users, but in CS5 the pages are not locked, and this causes changes not to be saved.  We want them to lock, any suggestions?

    We have a mac environment, with a mac server.  Editorial dept. opens the pages to put stories on, and at different times another dept. needs the pages to put ads on the page. We all use InDesign CS5. When any dept has a page open, it does show the .idlk file, but still allows another user to open the document.  However, once in a while,  it locks it and doesn't let anyone else open it, which is what we want.  This all worked in InDesign 4,  it started when we upgraded to CS5.  We aren't doing anything out of the ordinary.

  • Record locks created when user closes the Browser and not the Web Form

    Hi. We sometimes encounter the issue where a user updates a record, locking the record on the table, but then they unexpectedly closes the browser without saving by clicking the X in the upper-right of the browser window. Then when another user comes along and attempts to edit that record they get the message Unable to Reserve Record. The orphaned record lock eventually does seem to clear itself out, but that can often take 15-20 minutes.
    Is there any way to speed this up? Or to pragmatically keep this from occurring? Either on the database side or with some code in a particular application?
    Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

    If a user closes the browser window the forms runtime on the application server holding the locks is in most cases still up and running. The FORMS_TIMEOUT controls on how long a forms runtime on the server is up and running without the client applet not sending a heartbeat (See MOS note 549735.1). By default this is 15 minutes which would explain your locks being held 15 minutes.
    You could decrease the FORMS_TIMEOUT in the default.env, so the forms runtimes get cleaned earlier and thus the locks get released earlier.
    Note that if you have blocking client_hostcalls with webutil this might be a problem, as it prevents the forms applet from sending the heartbeat and after the FORMS_TIMEOUT passed while the forms applet is blocked the forms runtime on the server gets closed.
    cheers

  • Lock Frontpanel when user takes no activity in a specified time

    Hello !
    I have a PanelPC with Touchscreen and want to lock the frontpanel when the user doesn't make an input for a specified time. After this time the frontpanel locks and shows a password input to unlock the frontpanel. How do i detect if the user makes no input ? The VI has to run, because it makes an automatic control/ regulation of a factory. I found an example with a password protection, but i don't know how to detect the user input. Can anyone help me ?

    You can monitor the "mouse events" and also the "keypress events (using the keyboard)" and with this FP can be locked/unlocked based on the time out. 
    Create an event structure so that it will be easy to handle the mouse events. Add another frame of this event structure which can be used for handling the timeout and when ever a event occurs on the FP you can reset it to 0

  • Project locks up when user double clicks click box

    I have a series of practice questions in my Captivate 5 projects that use click boxes to select the question's answers.  The project pauses at the click boxes (which all appear at the same time), and a feedback caption appears.  A second later, a continue button appears.  The project again pauses until the user clicks the continue button.  Then the project goes to the next slide.  My problem is that when the user double clicks a click box,  or clicks it right when it appears (the cursor changes from arrow to a hand), the continue button does not appear.
    I am just considering deleting the continue button but my intent there was to allow as much time as the user needed to read the feedback captions after clicking the click box.  Any help on this is appreciated.
    Options selected on click box: hand cursor, and pause project until user clicks.
    Thanks.

    Actually, I was more wondering what kind of code I
    need to add to my program to make it possible at all.
    My file input and output is all done from a Utilites
    class which I made but quite obviously any OS will
    not know to call Utiities.load(...arguments...).
    But, my goal is to have my program work as seamlessly
    as possible with a normal person's desktop.I'm sorry, you're right, I completely misread your post. I would definitely take the tactic of writing a .reg file and executing it. That seems to be the accepted way of creating registry entries on Java if you have to do such a thing.
    Here is a link to the type of .reg file you're going to need to associate a file with a certain program, and you'll need to modify it slightly to do a 'java -jar myJar' type of thing. Then, just point Runtime.getRuntime().exec() at it, and you should be good to go.
    The only thing I'd be worried about is how to find the JAVA_HOME. If you launched your installer via WebStart (or had the user double-click the jar for the first time), though, you could just use
    System.getProperty("java.home");

  • Why did my iPod  reset itself when I was trying to watch a video?

    Hi Everyone,
    I was watching a video on my ipod and I got halfway through the video and the Ipod reset itself. My iPod is okay after it reset itself. I was wondering has this happened to anyone else and what can I do to fix it?
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    lizabler

    Hey lizabler!
    I personally haven't experiened this specific thing myself, by I have certainly read issues like your quite a few times on the Discussions.
    When your iPod resets itself in this kind of case, this happens usually because, while you're playing a video on your iPod, it's not being able to continuouly load and play that video fast enough to actually play the video at a normal speed.
    This can be caused by the iPod's battery.
    How charged/discharged was your iPod around the time when your iPod reset itself? Try letting your iPod's battery fully die, then let it recharge for a full 3 hours, and see if this ever happens again.
    Also, if this ever happens again, have you tried resetting your iPod several times? (holding the "Menu" and middle buttons together for 10 seconds)
    Sometimes your iPod resetting itself can also be caused by your iPod's memory being highly used. For example, if you have a 60 GB iPod, and you've used up 54 GB of it already, this can sometimes somehow bog up the iPod, causing it to act strangely.
    If this iPod-resetting-itself behavior recurrs, and resetting the iPod several times doesn't help, try restoring your iPod to factory settings -> How to restore your iPod
    I hope that info helps you.
