Hello. How do I get unlocked? htassone 02.07.2006 19:37:01 Hi, I use word everyday. I am a writer. Yesterday I had been working on a story. Today, I went back to finish and edit it and was locked out. I do not know what this means. I do not know why. I have to constantly edit and change things. Also, The program kept responding with a box stating for me to convert. I tried this several times. It said it was successful, but I still can not edit my files. What happened? And how do I fix this. Please help me. htassone P.S. I am a computer idiot, so technical stuff will fly over my head.

This newsgroup is for questions about security in Access, the database product that's part of Office Professional. However, have you tried rebooting your machine? Often files that the operating system considers to be locked will be freed up that way. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "htassone" <htassone[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:4B229B1C-9428-4853-BFE5-CB0FEBC87520[ at ]microsoft.com...
