If I delete the project and open the .DSN file then a new project is created. In the Design Cache for this project there is a list of schematic components in several librararies. Without adding a library file to the project, if I select Tools>Utilities>Show All Open Libraries and Designs... the affected library file is listed and no other library files. Follow this same procedure for all other projest/designs, there are no library files listed. If I now navigate to the folder where all the libraries are stored only the affected library has a lock file associated to it. This lock file does not affect any other designs I or anyone else opens. It only affects users when they try to open the library to make changes to it. When I exit or quit the affected project/design and close down Orcad Capture, the lock file is not deleted. This is the only design this happens too. It does the same thing for all user that open the design and the lock file is owned by the person that opens the design.
