I'm at a loss now to understand why it thinks they are different users. JulianI'm guessing that the files you where using were on some sort of network storage. Were they open on the main PC when it died? A lot of editing apps will maintain a lockfile of some kind and don't like you editing the same file twice. If that is not the case then we need some more information. 1. ls -l on one of the problem files. 2. create a new file in the same directory and ls -l that. 3. How are you mounting the network files? Cheers, PeteYeah, lock files was my next port of call.... try a 'ls -la' which will list (long-format, all-files) to see if there's something hidden which tells office/etc that its "open" when its not. Have had this when pulling files off a working/live machine to work elsewhere before!! MJE
