Ever since I upgraded to WinXP, MS Word 97 has been giving me a weird message.
When I open a word document by double clicking on it, Word starts running and opens the file, and then says "<filename> is being used by <my username>. Do you want to make a copy?"
I always click no and continue working. I have no idea what'll happen if I click yes.
However, if Word is already running, and I click File --> Open --> and select my document, I don't get that message when Word opens it.
It's pretty distracting. Is there any way to stop this?
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me..
