Hi, the attached error message has been displaying when I attempt to open my source file. I am the only person who ever accesses these files. I generally have to make a copy or rename the file to be able to open it. Can anyone explain what this message means and how I can prevent this from happening? Thanks!
The file is locked when it is opened and unlocked for editing when it is closed, this normally happens to me with a sudden crash, it can happen if you work across a network though.
I wanted to share an additional article written by Nicole, for you or anyone following along, that shares some best practices to prevent any file corruption.

Sorry you ran into that error, Lynn! Do you happen to have that file saved on a network or shared drive?
Here are a few things you can try to get back up and running:
Let me know if any of those options help you!
Thanks so much Phil and Alyssa! I am on a network and will make sure to keep a copy on my hard drive from now on!
That's a good practice, Lynn!
