Windows 7 Professional - Sharing Files for Full Edit

I setup a new computer with Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) to share its files to the rest of the office that runs Windows XP. All confirm seeing and able to edit the files, but when saving, it doesn't overwrite original, it saves an entire new copy.

Any help with this would be great! We wish to keep the original and just overwrite when editing and saving.

Thanks again....

if anyone can post any of their initial thoughts on this, i would greatly appreciate.

thanks again everyone!

does it require that he is part of 'homegroup' or should he leave homegroup then share with exact members on the network? i am confused.

permissions updated to read / write and works.

See how easy that was curleylarry. Almost like it was meant to work that way LOL.
I'll mark this as solved.
