All network documents open in read-only mode
Posted: Fri Aug 21, 2009 5:39 pm
For some reason, one computer on our network is having read-only issues with every document we try to open or save to our network drives. I have confirmed that she has full read-write permission to the drives and folders she is trying to access. Every network file opened via OpenOffice is in read-only mode. Other applications can read/write to the same directory with no problem. The files themselves are NOT marked read-only by the file system, only in OpenOffice. Prior to upgrading to OpenOffice 3.1, it was happening some of the time. Now it's happening ALL the time, for every network file.
So far I've tried the following to fix the problem:
* Download and reinstall/upgrade to OpenOffice 3.1 (didn't work.. in fact, it seemed to make it worse)
* Complete uninstall of OpenOffice and Java and registry clean (using CCleaner), then reinstall OpenOffice 3.1 (didn't work)
* Reset the OpenOffice user profile from C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user\ (didn't work)
Again, this is specific to OpenOffice. Even if we try to create a new spreadsheet and save it to our network drive, this error comes up: "Object not accessible. The object cannot be accessed due to insufficient user rights." Trying the same thing in any other application to the same exact location works with no issues.
Any more ideas??
