I have a project which has elements reserved, but there is no name associated with them. Ie the teamwork server indicates they are reserved by - and then there is nothing after the word 'by'? So the question is - how do I release these parts?
While working remotely on a teamwork file, the IT guy restarted the office firewall - effectively breaking the server link. When restarting, the 'work in detached mode' message comes up. Is there anyway to 'reattach' to a teamwork file - or can you o...
