Thanks Josh but I may not have stated it clearly.
Engineer 1 will have the assy (read only) open and when I try to open a subset it will tell me it cannot find the file?

I've read this post twice, checked all the settings on the two seats we have and I cannot open a file if the other designer has it. He does not have write access to it so what gives?
We keep all our files on a network that gets backed up every night to tape. Would syncback make life easier? We certainly have the slow loading issues, we share the toolbox on the network, I read somewhere that was a good idea.....is it crap?

in 5 ways to increase your efficiency by 50% on SolidSmack
I'm calling the "Start Menu Key" the "Windows Key" on the keyboard, between Ctrl and Alt. I've always called it the windows key, just 'cause it's got the logo, and "Start Menu Key" seams too wordy. If I tell my dad hit the "start menu key" on the keyboard he would more than likely look for a key labeled "Start".
Anyway
For example I have a SolidWorks shortcut in my Start Menu as "3. SolidWorks". I hit the Windows Key (old habits die hard) the number 3 and SolidWorks opens. I have Firefox as "1. Firefox" and so on. It works the same with letters but they are not as convenient as the number pad on the right.
Another thing I have is a custom toolbar in my taskbar, that reads kinda weird. Right click on the taskbar and select "toolbars" then "New Toolbar...". I have a folder on my local drive called "SC" (short cuts). When selected it will put the folder name and a set of right arrows at the right side of your taskbar, left of the clock. The arrows are the button.
A lot of times I need to search network folders for files, I have the shortcuts to those folders in my SC folder. I can click (left or right mouse button) the button, right click the folder and select search and I'm off and searching. Since I have 1-9 in my "Start Menu" already, this toolbar works for other files too.

My most used programs in the start menu are numbered, that way I can hit the windows key on the keyboard and the number and poof it's there!
