File is currently in use by:

We are on the network with multiple users and have been locked out of a specific file for a day now.  The Read Only message does not say which computer has it opened (normally it does).

We disabled out preview panes in windows explorer, tried shutting down computers but still the file is locked!We have tried opening the file through windows explorer and Bentley explorer window.

We have no idea how to unlock this file and we need to make changes (its a design model file).  We are using Windows 7 - AECOsim V8i SS6 version 08.11.09.866

Please help.

  • I had the same before, usually the file isn't in use by anyone else, it just seems it remains locked after it's been edited a few minutes before, as if it doesn't get released. I noticed this could also happen when it was myself editing the file before. I think it's a server thing, since it doesn't happen when I use files from a local source.Usually when I have this problem, it dissapears some minutes later and the file gets available.
