The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Even though the user exited WordPerfect properly, the error message "Backup File Exists . . ." displays when restarting the application. If the user attempts to open, rename, or delete the file, various error messages appear indicating the file is already open and cannot be modified by this user. Solutions: Upgrading to the latest version of VLM's solved the problem. Causes: The customer was using Novell Netware and an early version of VLM.EXE (1.01). This early version of VLM was leaving the backup file open and not deleting it when the user exited WordPerfect.
