It sounds to me more like an MIS "rights" problem to all the files in that
directory, rather than an Excel problem......try some experiments with other
files under the same directory/computer/etc.......

Hello,
Hope you may help me,
The problem happens when I have just saved the Excel workbook and shut down,
other analysts then try to open the workbook (within a few second of me
closing) and they get an error message stating that I am still accessing the
workbook and so they get a read only version (notify or read only).
This persists even when they have closed and reopened the spreadsheet during
which time I have closed my PC. It appears as through the editing lock does
not release the spreadsheet.

To resolve my PC needs to be shut down overnight and when I reboot it
becomes editable again.


Many thanks for your any tips,

Trevor
