hello everyone I posted the below question on the ms vista networking forum
as I thought it might be something to do with sessions but someone has
advised I post it here so if this is not for you guys then sorry, but here
goes




Hi all I have a strange issue that is a bit long winded so bear with me will
try to explain as quickly as poss.

Setup it this:

Vista Business machine (Main): sharing a multi user excel document (not
generally used on this machine)

Vista Business machine one (VMB1): this is the main user of this doc the
edits happen here doc is usually open first here also.

Vista Business machine two (VBM2): this is a read only viewer of the doc if
the VMB1 machine opens the doc then VBM2 tries to open VBM2 will sit there
forever with the timer icon, this will continue until either you close the
doc on VBM1 or close some open sessions from the Main machines computer
management
util.

However if VBM2 opens the doc as read only first it will open instantly then
VBM1 machine can login afterwards without an issue to either machine.

This only happens between these two machines both vista business, we can
access it with no problems in the same way as these two from other OS's so XP
machines and we even have a couple of Vista home machines that dont have a
prob.

As far as I can see it seems to have something to do with amount of sessions
these vista business machines seem to be opening but I could be wrong.

Have tried to google this but finding info this advanced is rare, any help
or ideas would be gratefully received.

Thanks all
