Central file crashes after two consecutive people save?

[andymeyer50]

Our office is experiencing the central file crashing after two consecutive people try to save to central. For example: The first person opens the project and starts working and everything works fine. He can save to central and to his local and continue working just fine. The second person opens the project and saves to central and both are able to continue working but once the "first person" goes to make their next STC after the second person has made their first STC then Revit says a fatal error has occurred and kicks the first person out. The second person can then continue working just fine until a third person gets on. Once the third person makes their first STC, then the next time the second person goes to save it will give them the fatal error and kick them out. The latest person to open the project seems to always have control until the next person gets on and "trumps" the others control......Any thoughts?

Had a similar issue in my office....for some reasons I found the folder containing the central file having "rights" removed to users...basically, when the "Modify" and "Read & Execute", "Read" and "Write" were added, no more problem...
hmm...sounds so familar...what firm do you work for?
