Briefcase problem

I am using Windows XP Pro in both my PC and notebook. I
have been trying to get Briefcase to work between the 2
computers. I am able to move a file from the PC to the
notebook and add data to the file in the notebook.
However, when I try to update it, I get the message that
it can't be done as it is "read only". The attributes are
not set to read only and the folders are set for sharing.

I am new to this and is there something I am missing?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Norm.
 
Hi,

That folder on the notebook needs to assign read and write permissions for
everyone. Currently, it is at the default for a share which is read only.
