Excel documents keep locking

[Kevin]

Morning all,

I'm a sys admin at our company, and of late keep getting calls that users
Excel documents keep locking over night but with my credentials, any idea how
I can track down what is causing it????
I thought or it must be a job of some sort that is running but I don't run
anything with my credentials, I usually use service or system accounts....
Anyone have any ideas on how to track it down?


Thanks in Advance

Someone may be using your account without your knowledge. Suggest you change
credentials as a precaution ASAP.

Thanks, but it's not that. i've changed my password while this was all
happening and it still continued.

Are you running a backup over night?

Thanks, but it's not that. i've changed my password while this was all
happening and it still continued.

 

[Kevin]

Yes there are backups that run, but that's by another team and they use an
assigned service account for that.

Are the files open overnight or closed, where are they located and if on a
server share what is the operating system?

 

[Kevin]

Yes the files are open.
Yes they are on a share, windows 2003 SP2

Edit:::

Files may be open and closed

Just had confirmation that the files are closed every night, but that is from
a user and I never believe what a user says )
