I use Excel 2002 to compute grades from my Gateway 4200(Win 98) desktop, and save all files to my Novell home directory. However, recently I received a Dell Latitude laptop, with the Office 2002, and use it in the classroom. My problem is that when I open those saved excel files on the laptop, work in it, and save back to the my home directory-- I cannot again open and edit the same files from my desktop or laptop. I can only open them in Openview. When I check the attributes on the excel file, they are listed as "archived". Only happens with excel, and not word or powerpoint. Any ideas??!! Many thanks!!!
