Everytime I open a document in Word or Excel, I get the message: "<doc name> is being used by <owner's name> do you want to make a copy?"
All I have to do is click "No" and go about my merry way, but it is growing tiresome. any suggestions?
BTW, none of the doc's I'm trying to open are hidden, read-only, or have recently crashed.
