Save prompt for Excel 2003
I get a prompt from Excel that I never used to get when saving files. When I
try to save an Excel file, I get the following prompt: The file 'filename.xls' may have been changed by another user since you last saved it. In that case, what do you want to do? My options are to Save a copy, or Overwrite changes. This started happening about a month ago and the only significant changes that I've made to my system that might cause this would be a Windows XP update. I have a home network with a shared network drive (Buffalo Linkstation) and I notice that I only get this prompt when opening the file from my Linkstation HDD, not when opened from local drive. No one else is on my network when this happens so it can't be that someone actually has the file opened at the same time as me. Doesn't happen with other Office 2003 programs. Not a big deal but I'd like to turn it off - any ideas? |
Have a look at this KB Article
"The file may have been changed..." error when you save work*book to network server in Excel 2002 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=324491 Myrna Larson also reported that she got this error when open*ing a workspace (*.xlw) file. Opening the workbooks individually solved the problem. Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Sat, 5 Feb 2005 21:01:02 -0800, "Adrastos" wrote: I get a prompt from Excel that I never used to get when saving files.
