"Try again, unable to lock file" error message when attempting to access an ALG file.

InRoads V08.11.07.492/615

MicroStation V08.11.09.357

Windows 7 64bit

I have come across an issue while working in InRoads SELECTseries 2, V08.11.07.615.  (My coworkers are all on InRoads SELECTseries 2, V08.11.07.492)  I can no longer access a project's ALG file.  Initially, I had no issue accessing the file with the RWK (or with manually opening the ALG file).  I crashed sometime two days ago and ever since then I've been unable to access the file.  Right before the crash, I was attempting to "check out" the alignment(s) and Cogo buffer.  (We have our XIN file set up to allow "Read-Only" access when opening the ALG file(s)). 

After the crash, I attempted to access the ALG file and it will not open.  It provides me with the error message "Try again, unable to lock file".  I then deleted the LCK file that was found in the directory but it did not help.  I even attempted to give myself Read-Write access to the directory (since it shown "highlighted" as Read-Only) but that did not work either.

Other users in the same office are able to access the ALG file for this project and I'm able to access other ALG files for the same project but just not this one.  What is an "NLF" file?  That is the only other file in the directory that I haven't touched.

As of right now, I've been working with the ALG file from my Desktop and will update the one in the project folder when I'm finished with my changes.
