Error File Is Locked On Network - One Possibl |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: When receiving an "Error File Is Locked" message upon executing WordPerfect 4.2, 5.0 or 5.1 on a Novell network, users can check the number of directory entries available. On a Novell 286 system, the directory entries can be checked with the CHKVOL command; on a Novell 386 system, they can be checked with the VOLINFO command. (These utilities reside in the PUBLIC subdirectory.) There is no specific minimum number of directory entries that should be available, but any low number of directory entries available can give this error. Directory Entries Available pertain to the number of files or directories that can be created on a Novell volume. The only way they relate to WordPerfect is that WordPerfect needs to create temporary files as it does whatever it is doing. Since WordPerfect creates 4 overflow files when it executes, if the Directory Entries are down to only 4 you will still be able to get into WordPerfect without any problems except when you try to print. Then WordPerfect would try to create a temporary print file and wouldn't be able to. The only minimum Directory Entries are the minimum needed to run a session of WordPerfect successfully which may only be from 4 to 10 or 15. Multiply that number by the number of users on the network using WP at the same time and add the number of files they want to save and the number of Directory Entries Available will be the result. One customer corrected a similar error message, "File Is Locked In Network," by renaming the file, then retrieving it again. |
