This name is in use by a locked document

[Anonymous]

When I try to update hotlink modules or the main drawing where all my modules are placed or; when I try to save the drawing, i get a message that says: "this name is in use by a locked document" The only way around it is to do a save as. Does anyone know how to go around this as it is getting increasingly frustrating. The drawing or module is not open anywhere, so there should be no reason why it will do that.

I'll appreciate feedback on this.

Go to the folder in which that MOD or PLN (the source of the hotlinked module) is located and check wether it is indeed set to read-only. OR in case of a PLN file, there may be a *.LCK file with the same file name as the PLN file. You can delete that LCK file and the PLN will not be locked anymore.

This is my problem, but the solution of deleting the lck file isn't working. The file still won't save once ive worked in it. It just says this name is in use by a locked document. Select another folder or use a different name. Any other suggestions?
