I have a machine with XP HOME. There is only one user account (named SHIPPING).

Whenever I open a WORD document, I get the message:

"C:\...DOC is being used by SHIPPING. Do you want to make a copy?"

If I select OK, I get the further message:

"Word cannot open the document ..."

I don't understand.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Terry
