It is intermittent and happens rarely. Client is Windows XP sp3. AV is Symantec Endpoint. Neither was my choice. Server is Windows Server, not R2 - that would be modern , I think. Improve this question. Are you able to reliably reproduce the issue?
If you copy the file locally, can you reproduce the issue ever? Does it happen when opening Excel first, then opening the file I ask the two, because I've ran into issues with one working and the other not. What version of Office is on the machines?

This is done by virtue of a file system filter driver that layers above every replicated folder that is configured to be read-only.
Volumes that do not host read-only replicated folders or volumes hosting only read-write replicated folders are ignored by the filter driver. Please note that connections between replication members should continue to be two-way connections. Microsoft does not recommend or support the configuration of one-way connections between replication members. The DFS Replication service prevents local modifications to replicated data on members hosting read-only replicated folders.
Also, the service ensures that absolutely no changes are replicated out from a member hosting a read-only replicated folder to other replication member servers. Therefore, there is no fear of unwanted changes replicating out from a member server configured to be read-only. As a result of these features, we recommend setting up two-way connections even if one of the replication partners hosts a read-only replicated folder.
Note: As this product is currently in beta it only supports PowerPoint but will support all Office docs in the future. I used it as an example for implementing a more integrated way of sharing docs across a network. Also, this Read-Only hassle could be related to a network permissions issue as opposed to a document permissions issue since it involves files on the share.
I'm assuming the user doesn't experience this issue when they save and edit files locally. We started experiencing the same issue with Office both Word and Excel docs a while back.
It happened in a number of scenarios, as well. Editing a doc stored locally both on XP and a Win7 build , a doc stored in SharePoint , a doc on a file share, etc Luckily, when we started having this issue, Office SP2 was only about a week or two away from release.
Once it came out, I installed SP2, and since then the issue has not come back knock on wood. I know you are running Office , but I would at least make sure its fully patched and see if that helps. Also, check with Microsoft to see if there is a hotfix available that hasn't been released as a standalone patch or rolled into a service pack yet. This problem is not peculiar to Word I get it on Word as well, and it occurs on network shares and local files.
I found this thread looking for any information about it. I will attempt turning off the "Save Auto-recover Information every.. It is ironic that one must turn off the ability to automatically save a document in order to be able to save it on purpose.
