Database is locked when editing external documents

To get advanced editing features e.g. tables, I started using MSWord to open stored .docx files externally writable.

I noticed on at least 5 occasions at some point in time after keeping the doc open externally, I get a dialogue box 'Database is locked'. Hitting OK returns another message 'Error saving item: Access violation. Exception ...'. Hitting OK does not crash UR. I'm able to continue working with it.

I was not able to reproduce the AV error, but it seems to happen after a set number of minutes having the external doc open.

The urd file is stored on Dropbox and I can guarantee there are no other UR instance having this file open. Furthermore, I always run one instance of UR.

1. Why is DB locked in the above scenario?
2. If 'database is locked' not an error, simply informational, why is UR crashing with an AV error afterwards?

Thanks

Does the problem persist after restarting your PC?

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

As per my above description, I'm able to continue working with UR even after receiving the AV exception. However, I do restart UR to be cautious.

As such, there is no need to restart Windows and, logically, the problem wouldn't persist.

And if I may, did you get the chance to address my two questions, above.

Thanks, again.

1. I don't know.
2. It is a real error. It appears that another error occurs after that due to the first error.

I haven't been able to reproduce the problem.

I may have not been clear in my first question. I meant under which conditions UR return 'db is locked error'.

In a 2005 post, I have seen a user state ...

The only time we have seen "database is locked" error is with concurrent usage by multiple users or when cancelling a search or navigation using the Item Text or Item Notes virtual attributes
Is there a scenario where opening a stored document externally writable creates two users or processes trying to update same table/record?
