Rules for opening shared files
==============================

File is already open, with share set to none:

	Can not open again


File is already open for reading, with read share:

	Can open for reading only, share must include read (can have write too)


File is already open for reading, with write share:

	Can open for writing only, share must include read (can have write too)


File is already open for reading, with read + write share:

	Can open for read, writing or both, share must include read (can have write too)


File is already open for writing, with read share:

	Can open for reading only, share must include write (can have read too)


File is already open for writing, with write share:

	Can open for writing only, share must include write (can have read too)


File is already open for writing, with read + write share:

	Can open for reading, writing or both, share must include write (can have read too)


File is already open for reading + writing, with read share:

	Can open for reading only, share must be read + write


File is already open for reading + writing, with write share:

	Can open for for writing only, share must be read + write


File is already open for reading + writing, with read + write share:

	Can open for read, writing or both, share must be read + write



Executive Summary
-----------------

	Second open must have access within first share, must set second share to at least first access
