Hi,

I am unable to edit testcases written by another tester in the database. I have full admin rights to the Db (full admin rights in Advanced Tab), and I'm opening the Database manually across the network. When I try to update a testcase written by another tester I get the following error 'Unable to open file for editing. Access is denied.'

This user was originally a user on the system, but he was deleted as a user, I tried adding him back to no avail.

Can you help please

cheers

The "database" is actually a collection of XML file in the Windows file system. You can use Windows Explorer to browse these XML files. So if you have having problems opening a file, then it is the Windows file permissions that are at fault. There will be nothing you can do in Testlog itself to fix this.

Resolved with changing the permissions on the XML files within Explorer

Thanks for your help
