Hello,


I work with Office Professional Edition 2003 and recently I added a NAS
Server to my network and transferred all documents (Excel, Word, etc€¦) from
the different workstations to servers disk. After this changing in our
procedure and guarantying the security privileges needed (Full Control), I
begun to receive an Error Message, only in Excel, every time I try to save an
open book from the network resource. The message I get is something like:

€œThe file €˜name_of _the_file.xls may have been changed by another user,
since you last saved it.€�

If the file is local, that does not happen.

Is there something that we may change in Excels options?

Thanks in advance

I don't know why you're getting this error message but Excel does save
workbooks over existing workbooks in a different way than most applications.
First it saves to a new name, then it deletes the original file and then it
renames the new file to the old file's name. So users need the rights to
save, delete and rename files. I'd make sure that all three are granted;
sometimes 'rename' is overlooked.

Hi,

I already tried that approach and confirmed that full control, in windows
advanced mode, were available and granted. I could see the following granted
access rights:

Full Control Allow
Traverse Folder / Execute File Allow
List Folder / Read Data Allow
Read Attributes Allow
Read Extended Attributes Allow
Create Files / Write Data Allow
Create Folders / Append Data Allow
Write Attributes Allow
Write Extended Attributes Allow
Delete Subfolders and Files Allow
Delete Allow
Read Permissions Allow
Change Permissions Allow
Take Ownership Allow

There are no other available access rights.

So I am still with the same problem, but thanks anyway.

You might check the MSKB. I found one article of interest:
