       Thanks for your response -

       unfortunately, it does NOT go away;
           sometimes, I've found several of these ~lock files  ;-(

Usually it all works very smoothly and it's kinda nice to see the
lock-file appear and vanish as if by magic.  Definitely a feature and NOT a
bug, except when something else throws a spanner in the works
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi.
I think that ~lock is used to control access to the document you have
open. To stop another user from changing it unless you have enabled
multiple user access for simultaneous editing.

Usually it goes when you close the document, sometimes they stay after
closing LO and I delete them.

        That ~lock pops up all the time whenever I used OO - and then LO

        HOW can it be stopped?; is it a bug which has continued form day
1?;
it happens in all the OO/LO programs  ;-(

        Each time it appears, I delete it; I would search through
'properties' for an option to stop this inane phenomenon, but never found
anything.

        Sure hope this bug will die anon.

Hi :)
Has this problem been fixed yet?  There might be a hidden file in the
same
folder the original document was in and has a name with ~lock in it
somewhere.  Deleting that file should get things back to normal.
Usually
there is a ~lock file in the UserProfile somewhere so hopefully renaming
your user profile to force LO to generate a new one should have done the
trick.
Regards from
Tom :)
