The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: If a second user attempts to run WordPerfect with a user ID that is already in use, the .SPC and .CHK files are deleted if the temporary files are directed to a shared directory. For example, user 2 goes into WP with the same initials that user 1 used. The second user is asked "Are Other Copies of WP Running?" If user 2 answers no, he receives the message "Access Denied *.BV1," and he is not allowed into the program. At this point, if user 1 tries to do a spell check or exit the program, he receives the message, "Put WordPerfect 2 in Drive." If he presses F1-Cancel, he is able to exit out of the program or continue with the spell check. However, if he presses any other key, the computer appears to be locked. Solutions: The save routine does not accommodate end user error in that it cannot protect the .SPC file and .CHK file. To do so would interrupt the timed backup and normal save features. This problem may be addressed in a future version of WordPerfect, but it will not be addressed in 5.1.
