| Hi,
In V2.n there used to be 3 main problems:
1. File Cabinet locking meant that there were problems if both users
were accessing the same document.
2. If the users are WPS-PLUS users then they cannot edit at the same
time because of lockouts on file WPSDEF.WPL
3. Interaction by permanent symbols. Applications that use these may
well assume that only one user is updating them . An example is the WP
main menu which sets the current document to $WPDOC. So if both
users are on this menu then users will find their current document
changing unexpectedly!
In V3.0 problem 1 has now been fixed, but problems 2 and 3 remain.
Cheers
Stuart

| Further to Stuart's points,
In V3.0, we do all the checling of document access via ACLs and Rights
IDs, which are specific to a single VMS account, so we *STRONGLY
RECOMMEND* that you stop doing this sort of thing!
In V3.0, it's easy to set up two different accounts, one for each
person, and give them shared access to any documents they both want to
edit.
Additionally, most security type people like only one person to be able
to log into any particular account so that any messages or other things
can be traced to one individual.
