| 287688 | 2004-11-04 01:06:00 | Hi. I have office 97 installed on my winxp pro laptop. When I open an xl or word file I get the following errors popping up. XL- A document with the name Blahblah.xls is already open. You cannot open two documents with the same name, even if the two documents are in different folders. Word- C:\…..\A\pricing.doc is being used by “MY Name”. Do you want to make a copy? I am not on any network and I get the errors even if I open the files from a clean desktop. Can anyone solve this occasionally frustrating problem? |

| 287690 | 2004-11-04 01:21:00 | turn hidden files on on there may be a lock file that was not deleted from your last session working on this file and office is detecting this | beama (111) | ||
| 287691 | 2004-11-04 05:27:00 | I have sp2 installed, is that what you mean Potus? | miknz (3731) | ||
| 287692 | 2004-11-04 08:03:00 | www.swtraining.com Have a look here, but it looks like you need sr2 as previously mentioned |

| 287693 | 2004-11-04 10:00:00 | Yes, but you need to install SP1 then SP2 | POTUS (5276) | ||
| 287694 | 2004-11-04 19:31:00 | Avoid some confusion here POTUS, SR1 and SR2 (Service Packs for Office 97) are needed. Not SP1 and SP2 (Service Packs for XP). |
