Thank you namdaci45.
I'm working on getting the updates rolled out for us to verify that it solves our problem.
I was just adding clarity for those that where still questioning the errors.
I will post back after the updates.
Thanks again for your help.
Neither file XXX nor YYY have been saved by person 1.
They are only open. There is not a new version of either file saved.

Only one person is attempting to save, the second person just has the file open working in a subassembly.

Does that make more sense?
And...
We keep getting an error message of "file not found" when trying to save a file in Native that is open by another user.
Has anyone else here run into this problem and/or know of a solution?
