Windows SOE
Hi
I run W2K with Excel 2K Not sure this is the correct place to raise this question but here goes. I have an excel file on a network drive. When I try to access it and someone else is using it I get a message telling me the ID of who has the file open (eg: File is locked for editing by USER). I can then contact this person and ask them to close it, no problem there. However I sometimes get a message saying that the file is "Locked for editing by Windows SOE" This means I have no idea who has the file open....can anyone tell me why this might occur? Thanks John |

Windows SOE
Here SOE probably means Standard Operating Environment. It may mean the some
Windows or network function is using the file (perhaps for backup purposes). If this persists, see you network admin. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200744 "John Calder" wrote: Hi I run W2K with Excel 2K Not sure this is the correct place to raise this question but here goes.

Windows SOE
Hi,
I would look through the security and sharing properties of the file. I may be a permission issue.It also important to see the security and sharing properties of the folder where the file resides "John Calder" wrote in message ...
