I have files on computer A that I can access through our little network (just the 2 computers and I know NOTHING about resolving network problems) but they're always opened as read only. I've set the directory for sharing but it doesn't help.
I've made sure the file itself does not have the read only attribute set.
Whether I use Word for a document or Excel for a spreadsheet I can open the file from computer B but cannot resave the changed file onto computer A. Maybe I could save it as a different document but that's not what I need. I need for both of us to be working on the same file (not simultaneously, I know) but this seems impossible with our current setup.
Actually, if I find resolution to this problem I then need to find a database program that we can use from both computers with the source file on computer A but first I think I need to resolve this very basic issue mentioned above. However, if you have a db workaround that we can both work on the same db I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks!
