My memory of the item is > roughly that "lock owner strings belong to clients, not servers, so > servers should not mess with them." :^) OK, I read and forgot about that. I still don't understand why a client would compare the contents of the DAV:owner element contained in the response to the successful LOCK method call with what he sent. I would have hoped / assumed that the right thing to do is: a) attempt the LOCK b) if the LOCK method success, store the contents of DAV:owner *that was sent back by the server* for later comparisons. The behaviour seen in MS Office just doesn't make any sense... Regards, Julian
