That it says it is opened in your name means nothing, anyone can change that
name to be Bill Clinton, Boris Yelstin etc... it could be someone else that
has it open. Go to the file server and look "open files" in Computer
Management and you see who has the file in write mode.

To learn more of User Name works and can be changed look he

I am using Excel 2003 and I was working on an Excel workbook yesterday (which
is over a network). Before finishing for the day, I closed the file, closed
Excel and shutdown the PC.

This morning, I opened Excel and within Excel tried opening the same file
and now it is telling me that the 'File is on Use' and that I have it open -
but I don't have it open.

I have opened it within Excel in read-only mode and resaved it with a
different file name (which now works as the original), but now how do I
delete the original file I was working on yesterday? I have rebooted the PC
and ensured there are no Excel files open. I can't seem to delete it through
Excel or Explorer or any other way, Any ideas?
