&lt;p&gt;Look in the same folder as the ALG and delete the&amp;nbsp;file with the&amp;nbsp;same name as the alg but with the *.NLF extension.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The NLF file is created when multiple users are accessing the same ALG and one user needs to save changes to that file.&amp;nbsp; This&amp;nbsp;temporary file is automatically deleted once changes have been written to the ALG file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ProjectWise&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp; If working in a ProjectWise environment, the NLF file is created in the DMS folder on your local machine.&amp;nbsp; Navigate to the temporary dms folder and remove the .NLF file.&amp;nbsp; Then try to open the ALG again and it should be successful.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Problem:&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When trying to open an ALG, the error message &amp;ldquo;Try again,unable to lock file&amp;rdquo; appears.&amp;nbsp; In addition, a file by the same name as the ALG file exists in the same folder but with a NLF extension and zero KB file size.&amp;nbsp;Once the NLF file is renamed&amp;nbsp;to a different extension or deleted, the ALG opens but the edits were not saved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Solution:&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The NLF file is created when multiple users are accessing the same ALG and one users needs to save changes to that file.&amp;nbsp; This&amp;nbsp;temporary file is automatically deleted once changes have been written to the ALG file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
