Default Getting message: ".xls is locked for editing by ------"

We have started getting the message: ".xls is locked for editing by ------"
when we try to enter into a shared excel workbook. We have verified that
none of the authorized users already have the document open. It is
imperative that we coirrect this problem ASAP.

I would suggest shutting your server down and trying again.

We get this all the time. We work on a LAN and I think the file gets
hung up. We ususally have the person who it says is editing the file
reboot. It usually clears the problem file.

Good Luck !!
