I've just upgraded a small business from Win XP and Office 2000 to Vista and
Office 2007. They have three Vista machines (a Home Premium laptop and two
Vista Ultimate PCs) networked peer-to-peer with a shared folder on one of the
PCs containing various Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, etc.

When the user on the PC with the shared folder has a spreadsheet open and
the user on the other PC tries to open it, Excel locks up and they get the
following Vista error:

The second user is trying to open the spreadsheet to view it, rather than
make any changes, and this used to work perfectly on their old machines.


For info, this works perfectly well the other way round, i.e. if the user on
the PC without the share opens a spreadsheet first and then the user on the
computer with the share opens the same spreadsheet there isn't a problem.

Can anyone advise?

I have also posted this problem in the Vista networking discussion group as
I'm unsure exactly where the problem lies.
