Forgot to add that if User A opens a file that's not available offline, it locks exactly as it should on the server and User B receives the 'file in use' warning.<br />
<br />
This issue is repeatable, even on a different network, with new Windows 7 SP1 machines.

Ok, so a Windows 7 client (User A) has a network folder marked as 'Available Offline'. They open a document within this folder while connected to the network and shown as working 'on-line'.<br />
<br />
User B, who doesn't use offline files, is in the same office and opens the same file, with full write access. This means when User A opens the document, it didn't lock the server copy, even though the user was working 'on-line' and fully synchronised.<br />
<br />
If User B opens the file first, the file takes longer to open for User A and they receive the 'this file is in-use' warning.<br />
<br />
Anyone have any thoughts? This doesn't happen when the user with offline files has XP.

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.
