I have a few excel 2003 users that have xls files on a server, but they
are the only ones using. Often, when they save, it tells them someone
else may have changed the file, rename or overwrite. They are a bit
concerned, It appears to be a mac services thing, I found the following
MS article in support.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324491
But it doesnt mention a patch for excel 2003. Should the users just
get used to hiting overwrite?

For Excel 2003 no patch has been issued AFAIK

Follow the instructions for editing the Registry or continue hitting overwrite.

Note the warnings the KB article specifies about making Registry changes.
