ReadOnly Copy Locks ReadWrite Copy

brianal2000 · Nov 6th, 2009, 06:49 PM

User 1 opens Excel2007 file from network (read-write) (WindowsServer, version unkn).
User 2 opens same Excel file (opens as ReadOnly, of course).
User 1 successfully saves file many times
At some point, User 1 is UNABLE to save the file due to message saying "file is locked by User1".
Close down User 2's ReadOnly version...lock is released, and User 1 can now save again.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>Has anybody here seen this behaviour? Is it an Excel2007 issue, or a server issue?
