Default excel 2002 read only issue

I have excel 2002 on a network. One of the users has modified a very large
and very important spreadsheet and we can no longer modify/save that file
unless we are at his workstation. All other users see the file as a read only
file.The file is NOT saved as a read-only and is identified as a shared
workbook. I'm stumped... any suggestions?

A temporary solution may be to simply copy the s/s and saving as something
else. You thereby become the author with all permissions. May not be
suitable for your set up but it has helped in the past as a temp fix when
staff have gone awol.
