ok. check on your servers if you have opportunistic lock or similar options turned on.

also. check on the antivirus on the servers make sure the .gpk files are exempt from scanning...

I think we are going to set up an all-hands meeting to try to figure out the problem. Was hoping to find some specifics to present as a solution.

Projectwise allows this seamlessly.

You can use input files to push stuff into a GPK as long as you are careful in the naming convention of points, chains and such.

There most likely is a file locking mechanism on the server side that is causing this or possibly a Antivirus software maybe. Is you IT group able to investigate on their end?

We're struggling to pinpoint what file management software or protocol might cause this. There should be a way to push updates to the .gpk if we can't access it was it was intended, right?

The GPK should be multi read/write. This sounds like something is locking the file when the user opens it. Some file management software or network appliance.
