I don't quite follow what you are seeing. Are you talking about the DOS based Read-Only attribute bit?

Or the feature in Office where when you open a file which someone else has open, Office says it is opening the document read-only? It sounds like maybe this is more likely. I don't see where OptLocks 
would be at fault here - that is the entire file itself in this case.

I have Win2K SP4 OS here and can pull down Office XP SP2 to see if it does something incorrectly.
