SUMMARY
=======
 
If you have just saved a PowerPoint for Windows presentation for the
first time since either opening it or creating the file, you may get
the following message if you try to access the file from another
application:
 
   "<filename>"
 
   Sorry, someone else already has the file open for making changes.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
If you return to PowerPoint and either save the file again or close
the file, you will now be able to open it up in the other application.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PowerPoint for Windows,
versions 4.0 and 4.0a. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
