Microsoft Project and WAFS

Most modern applications perform file locking, which allows multiple users to access files without overwriting each other's work. Microsoft Project does file locking in a special way that is supported by Agents with a special module. Without this module, two users working off of two Agents could open the same Microsoft Project file, and in some cases would not receive warnings from Microsoft Project that the file is already open.

To enable or disable Microsoft Project file locking

  1. Stop all Agents.

  2. Download MSProject.zip. This archive contains two .reg files: MSProject_Enable.reg  and MSProject_Disable.reg.

  3. Restart all Agents.

Perform the above procedure on every Agent editing or accessing Microsoft Project files.
