"File in Use"
I create an Excel spreadsheet and save it to my pocket drive. I copy it to
another computer and can not open it because the measge box "File In Use" appears Open 'Read Only" or click "Notify' to open read-only and receive notification when document is no longer in use' I can open it read only and save under another name and the same thing happens after the first time opening. In other words, I can open the file one and once only. I do not have another file open and I can find no settings to fix this. I am using 200 at home and 2003 at work. This just started over the weekend. I have used and edited the same file for the past month with no problems. HELP! this is an important work document. Thanks, Jim Slater |

"File in Use"
I'm guessing this is a Windows computer. Are you using the stop command
before you unplug the pocket drive/Flash drive? You will probably have to use the stop command so that everything gets written to the drive. -- Rui "slimjater" wrote in message ...

Yes, I am using the stop command. It seems as thought the program is not
closing. Jim Slater "ruic" wrote: I'm guessing this is a Windows computer. Are you using the stop command before you unplug the pocket drive/Flash drive?
