Default who has the file open when I try to open it

Put the code in a standard module.

In the old version of Microsoft 2003 you were able to see who had a file open
that you wanted to open. Thus asking the right person to come out of the
file once they had finished their work

Now in the 2007 version of excel we can not see this feature within the
pop-up windeow that tells you someone has it open. There is a team of us
that use specific files, with one of the colleagues being based in Mumbai.
So when the file is open you are unable to tell who has the file open.

Is there a solution to correct this?
