Default How do I get rid of prompt when saving Excel spreadsheet ?

All of a sudden when I save my spreadsheet ("save" not "save as") I get a
prompt saying:
"The file '.......xls' may have been changed by another user since you last
saved it. In that case, what do you
O Save a copy
O Overwrite Changes

Anybody know how I can get rid of this annoying "feature" that suddenly
started happening after I bought some new computers and linked them to all to
a Storage Server.

Thanks !!

Have a look at this KB Article

"The file may have been changed..." error when you save workbook to network
server in Excel 2002

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=324491

Myrna Larson also reported that she got this error when opening a workspace
(*.xlw) file.

Opening the workbooks individually solved the problem.
