Can‘t Open Document Stored on Novell Server

"File is locked" error message when opening a file from a read only volume

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.

ClarisDraw 1.0v2 documents stored in a read-only volume on a Novell server cannot be opened.

When you attempt to open the document, you'll get an error message, indicating that the "File is locked." Changing the access privileges to allow write access will allow the document to be opened. There is no other workaround.

ClarisWorks and ClarisImpact files may be similarly affected.

This issue does not occur on an AppleShare server.
