That wouldn't prevent opening the sheet, and protected sheets are honored by gnumeric as well.
I understand this, tks. Sheets are *not* protected.
There is most likely a hidden file in the same directory that begins with a dot (.lock....). The part following "lock" will be the document file name. This is how OO knows the file is locked even before it opens it.
[...] There are *no* lock files.
However gnumeric does not use the same locking mechanism, so it ignored the lock. It's s simple matter of looking for hidden .lock files and deleting them.
Didn't realize that but still, there are *no* lock files. In order to make certain that I have not missed a "lock" file, I tried to access another nfs file in a different remote directory which I have never opened with any libreoffice app (created a *new* text file) with the same result. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
