I have noticed this problem too.
We´re running antivirus software: McAfee Netshield on server and McAfee
VirusScan on client.
Could this be the problem?

But what about virus protection then?

Maybe I´m not having same problem as Ray was describing.
Sometimes when I open a Word or Excel file and edit it, then when I try to
save it, there´s a message that the file is write protected and cannot be
saved. If I close it and open it again, edit and save, everything is ok...
Why?
Tomas

Sorry for the delay in responding....

We are running SP4 (we are scheduling an upgrade next week).

Antivirus... Norton 7.5 on both the server and the client.

This could be one cause.

Then try to deactivate Norton 7.5 for some time.

Use a better one, but don't ask me, which. I don't use a online scanner on
my NetWare server, only a scanner on my Linux e-mail server and on some of
the workstations Antivir from H&B EDV.

Virus scanners need to interrupt the communication between client and
server and if the scanner is not fast enough, it will produce such errors.
