Question

Unlock a FM file that does not have the Read-only attribute?

I have FrameMaker 8.0p277. I was trying to import formats from a file on my network. Everything froze. I had to reboot. When I reopened my FM book file and the individual chapter files, I got the lock message that prompted me to reset the lock and open each file. I did that--opened each file and reset the lock in each file. However, when I go to update my files, I get a message that one of my files is read-only. The attribute settings does not say this. I also can't even click in this file any more. I tried removing it from my book file and adding it back in. But that didn't change anything. Is there a way to get this file unlocked again?

Try keying in:
   Esc F l k

to see if the file lock bit got thrown when you crashed...

Tried this and it didn't change anything. Still can't even click in the file. And there are no Save or Save As options either.

This happened to us once.

Be sure you are pressing the keys sequentially, except for F, that is:

Esc

Shift+F

l

c

Except for Shift+F, do not press all the keys at the same time.


Sorry,

Esc

Shift+F

l
