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

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

Opening the workbooks individually solved the problem.
