Saving Files

[Kim]

I am using Excel 2007. When I open a 97-2003 file and do save-as, I get a
message that the file is in use by another user. This does not occur
everytime, but often. I have to save it as a new name. It is on a shared
server, most other users do not have 2007 yet. Changing the name is not the
best option, because of sharing and the links.

I appreciate any help.

Well, I don't think it's very strange that you get a message like "file is in
use by another user", given you're talking about sharing and shared server.

Perhaps someone else uses the same file?

No, the file is definitely not being used. I am the only one using the file
during this time. I am now up to version 6 and cannot delete the other files.
