File may have been changed by another user dialog

[Robert Smith]

I have a user who I have just upgraded to Windows SP2.
Now, when the user has already saved the file and
attempts to close it, they get a dialog stating "The file
may have been changed by another user. Do you wish to
Save a copy or overwrite changes?". This did not occur
before the SP2 update.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a
solution to turn this off?

Thanks in advance!

Hi
any chance you have shared this file ('Tools - Share workbook')?

Frank,

No, the workbook is not shared - however, it does reside
on a Linux Samba share. But then again, it has always
resided on the share. Only since the SP2 update, has
this started happening.

I pulled up one of my files as well. These are the steps
I followed:

1. Opened Excel
2. Opened the file on the Samba share
3. Clicked SAVE
4. Got the dialog box asking to overwrite changes or
save a copy

I know for a fact that noone else has access to this file
because it is on a private share that only I have access
to. I don't make any changes to the file - all I do is
click Save and get the message...

Thanks!
