Problem with File lock/unlock

[Guest]

Hi,

User A open an excel file on a network share.
User B open the same file.
When User A want to save his changes (normally, he has full control on this
file) he has a message : the file ".......xls" could be modified since the
last record. In this case , what do you want to do : save a copy or erase the
modifications ?

We are working on a W2K SP4 for file sharing and XP pro SP2 + office XP SP3
for clients PC.

Have a look at this KB Article

"The file may have been changed..." error when you save workbook to network
server in Excel 2002

Myrna Larson also reported that she got this error when opening a workspace
(*.xlw) file.

Opening the workbooks individually solved the problem.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, I try it but nothing change.
I really don't understand what's happening with this computer.
Also I can open every xls files with full control even if User A is working
on it.
Thanks for your help)
