    I'm not sure if this is helpful or not but we've discovered 2 things about files that open as 'read only':
    1. When a file opens as read-only, there is no ‘lock file’ that I can see in the folder the InDesign file was opened from. Once a file opens as read-only, it will continue to open as read-only for several days. Sometimes it will open correctly at a much later date, sometimes not.
    2. Our IT department watched the folder I was opening a read-only file from and they were able to see 4 lock files open on their end. Keep in mind, I have my ‘show hidden files’ box checked so theoretically I should have been able to see the 4 lock files, but I could not. When I closed the read-only file, the lock files did not close. IT was able to close them from their end and the file opened correctly after they closed them.
