Description FrankDrebin 2014-04-17 18:55:49 UTC
When I open .doc and .xls documents as a user with read-only permissions to the files, i get an error box that tells me that the file is locked for editing by unknown user.  

When I open the same documents as a user with write permissions, it opens up with no error messages.

How is this incorrect? If you can't edit it, and the user only has read permissions - what would you expect? 

We need more information here. Please tell us what you expect and then mark it as UNCONFIRMED. Thanks - apologies for the delay.
