When you use that approach you can simply open the file in your editing application, make a change, and save. The save is slower than it would be on a local native file system, but it saves the hassle of a checkout/checkin.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Jeff</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 21 Jun 2012 17:19:12 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/running-alfresco-community-for-about-2-months/m-p/257963#M211093 jpotts 2012-06-21T17:19:12Z
