InDesign CS5 file does not open

At my work, we work on the formatting of a book in InDesign. We use the same basic model for each file. I created a document preliminary pages with a table of contents (TOC), list of figures (LOF), list of tables (LOT), acronyms and glossary using this basic model. Everything worked fine; I was able to generate the TOC, LOF and MANY and could work with the file without problem. Then I saved and closed the file. Later that day, I was unable to open the file.

The message I get includes the statement, "you might not have permissions or the file can be opened already."

No one else was open, and there is no file locking. The other person using InDesign also cannot open it. I made a copy of the file and saved in another location and still couldn't open it.

The files are all on our network. We use InDesign CS5 and Windows7 (64-bit). The only difference between this file and the others are the changes that I made to certain styles of paragraph OCD so two paragraphs could be displayed side-by-side in the table of contents (e.g., Chapter 1 Introduction on a single line, where Chapter1 comes a paragraph and Introduction by another with no leading on the style of a paragraph).

Can anyone suggest a solution for this? It's quite urgent because the client must book at the end of next week.

Thank you very much for your help.

Kind regards

Try to open it as a copy option in the dialog box.
