Default File In Use error

We have a dir on our server (windows2003 sb).
It holds a bunch of Excel files that are used by the company.

Now many people use these files.

Christina is trying to open the file "MGMA special 070307.xls" but she gets
the error
"MGMA special 070307.xls is locked for editing by Christina"???????

No one else was in the file at the time Christina is trying to open it.

1) She can open it in read only mode.
2) She did make a copy of it.
3) She can NOT delete the orginial file. File in use error.

Any suggestion on how to remove the read only or at least how to delete the
file?

Scott Burke
