Hi,

Thanks for your response. I'm not the solution in the link.

The problem that I am having at work it that several people in our department want to be able to update a file, but we want to be sure that no one else is currently editing that file. If someone has the file open, it's helpful to know the user's name so we can talk about when the next person can edit the file. This works in Excel files that we use, and I would love to find out how to do it in Photoshop and Illustrator.

Thanks for the help!

Yes, I assumed that was the case, and I thought that link addressed it. I'd have thought it was more a function of your operating systems and network than Photoshop.

If you're working from a network share, the operating system will tell you if the file is already in use and not available for editing.
