Question Whenever I try to edit a specific document, I get a message that says:


"This document is locked by another workstation.  Do you wish to try again?"




I know that there is nobody else in the file. What's going on?


Answer This sometime occurs when the file or program is improperly shut down. Packing usually resolves this problem.


Resolution Go to FILE > PACK.

"askSam is an essential part of my software tool chest. I can research and collect data from anywhere and any source. Once it is in askSam I can edit, rearrange, organize, and search the information easily. Then I can present it and make it totally useful for other people via the web or CD. Fantastic!"
