"File In Use" Message Box problem
Excel 2007
When I open a new Excel file the Message Box "File In Use" appears with the following. "PERSONAL.XLSB is locked for editing by "Robert Morris" Open 'Read Only' or click 'notify' to open read-only and receive notification when document is no longer in use." Nothing appears to be "read only" and the new file works properly. I have searched all avenues. How do I remove this Message Box? Bob. M |

"File In Use" Message Box problem
Ron,
Thanks, I have almost always kept a blank sheet open to speed up the opening of active workbooks. As you're aware 2007 has always had an issue with opening new or active files. Funny thing tho, this Message Box just started doing this last month while I have used 2007 for almost two years. I wonder if Microsoft is ever planning on a fix for 2007 or will they just continue to force Vista on the public. Have you heard anything? Bob M.
