Re: Restricting editing in word whilst another user is using/editing file
HI,
Just wondering if anyone out there knows how to lock a word file whilst another user is accessing the same file. I have shared folders and files stored in dropbox but trying to avoid duplication of files.
Thanks.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your response. I am currently using Dropbox and have for a while but recently realised that numerous versions of word document has been occurring. I am trying to find a way that if those that share a folders with me will be locked out from editing pending when editing is completed.
Thanks.

I'm almost 100% certain that you couldn't lock files over a cloud based service such as Dropbox either, again they have their own conflict resolution procedures.
Is there any particular reason you need this functionality to be so locked down?
