Not sure whether I'm in the right place for this but I hope someone can
either help me out or point me to someone who can.

I shared a workbook and all was well until one PC crashed. Since then there
have been #VALUE entries in some cells.

I removed all users but me, unshared the workbook and repaired the values
but cannot save the repaired version unless I use a new filename.

I now cannot delete the original (corrupt) version because:
"It is being used by another person or program"

How do I delete the original and then rename my new version to replace the
corrupted one?

Thanks

A network admin should have sufficient rights to delete the old file and
copy in the fixed one giving it the same name.

You'd think so wouldn't you.

It seems that the workbook is corrupted in such a way that nobody can delete
it, I wonder if the server thinks that the workbook is in use?

I was able to restore a copy from around a month ago (I'm not sure when the
corruption occurred) and delete it. I then renamed the updated version as
the live copy and all's well but why does this happen? how do I stop it from
happening?
