Excel claims exclusive file may have been changed on save
Every time I work with one particular spreadsheet, I get a dialog indicating
that the file may have been changed by another user whenever I try to save the workbook. - I have exclusive access to this file. - I am the only person making changes to the file. - There are no macros in this workbook. - My machine checks out as free of viruses and spyware. - I am at my wits end! |

Excel claims exclusive file may have been changed on save
Have a look at this KB Article
"The file may have been changed..." error when you save workbook to network server in Excel 2002 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=324491 Myrna Larson also reported that she got this error when opening a workspace (*.xlw) file. Opening the workbooks individually solved the problem.

If you have any volatile formulas, like RAND() or NOW(), these recalculate
