strange error on saving

[jlbreyer]

On several, but not all, workbooks, when I save I get a
box up with the message:

"The file 'filename.xls' may have been changed by another
user since you last saved it. In that case, what do you
want to do? ()Save a copy () Overwrite changes."

Tried searching the knowledge base with no luck. Has
anyone else seen this? Do you have a cure?

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.

Thanks. That looks like the problem I'm having, since
all the files I'm having a problem with are on a network
drive. (which is backed up, unlike my desktop)
