Sharing problems in Vista

I have a client with two Window's Vista Business systems. The are on a small
office workgroup. System one has a folder on Drive C that is shared with all
of their user data on it. System two is supposed to be able to access that
data. When the users on system two try to save changes to a file, it says
that they cannot and that they have to save it under a different name due to
a sharing violation.

Is there some trick to sharing in Windows Vista to get it to work right.
These systems are two new installs.

Can they save it to a different file name in the same folder? Is the file
currently open by System One?

They cannot save it under a different name on that shared drive. It gives a
sharing violation error. They can only save it locally without getting the
error.

The folder is not open on system one at the time they are trying to open it
and use it on system 2

It's an inherited permissions problem. The person who creates it has more
permission than the person who's trying to update it.

Look at the permissions (authorisation), for both user names.
