Hi Rafael.
Thank you for your reply (I didn't know that you had replied to me).
Unfortunately, the duplicate Notation is not the explication of the "bad" behaviour of arbortext.
All the Notations are correctly declared and the locking concerns xml files which have no illustrations inside.
Moreover, arbortext locks several closed files at the same time.
I tried the few ACL commands you indicated to me, but only the file_close() command is recognized (Arbortext Editor 5.4 M110).
What is the needed argument for file_close command ?
the name of the file ? The name of the file with its path ?
Here's what borries me with arbortext: you always have to getting your hands dirty and if you are a simple user, it's too much complicated.
Who knows ACL in my society ?
Perhaps two persons who are administrators, too far away from me and too busy to care about these kinds of insignificant problems that occur every day...
I'd love to know ACL langage, even I must overlap with personal time, to be able to fend for myself but where to learn and where to find trainings for free on the web. It's too specific and not broadcasted as VBA (and I'm a beginner).
I'm just a simple user with light knowledge in VBA and if I really feel like improving myself and becoming an advanced use of arbortext editor, I feel blocked.
If you have another solution...
Thanks by advance.
