Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
The server is is running on SBS 2003. The users can access the shared file at the same time however it keeps on prompting a warning that another user is accessing the file. &nbsp;Ex. When Users A and B opens the file, the warning say User C is accessing the file. &nbsp;The users finds the warnings annoying and confusing, im wondering if there is a way to disable the warnings.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Microsoft warning when users are accessing the same shared file

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
