The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: It is very important to remember when changing the attributes of a network file (regardless of the network) that you cannot change attributes when anyone is using that file. For example, one customer who was running WordPerfect 5.0 on a network was unable to flag the .PRS file as read-only using the DOS ATTRIB command. She received the message "Sharing Violation" each time she tried to flag the file. She discovered that someone on the network was printing as she tried to use the ATTRIB command. When all users stopped printing, she was able to send the command with no problem. This can also occur if a user is in WordPerfect and you are trying to change the attribute on the WP.FIL file.
