Office 2007 locking files opened Read Only on network shares
I think there is somne bug in Office 2007. If a document is password protected, then you are given the option of entering a password to open the file with write permissions or opening a Read only copy of the file. When I was using Office 2003, then opening a Read Only copy of a password protected document stored on a network share will not result in a lock being placed on the file. Another user can still open that file with write permission and edit it although others were viewing it in Read only mode. Any suggestions?

In that case you can download Advanced Office Password Recovery which is a program to recover lost or forgotten passwords to files or documents created in Microsoft Office components (all versions up to Office 2003) and other Microsoft software: Word, Excel, Access (including user-level passwords and owner information), Project, Money, PowerPoint, etc. Just search for it on the internet.
