"File not Found"... WTF?

Hey guys

A workbook I've created for my workmates is behaving a bit funny.

It's a scheduling tool workbook, and they often have it open on two different workstations (one in read-only, the other in read-write) but lately it's been behaving funny.

On the surface it doesn't look like it has anything to do with macros. I don't mhave nay auto_open type things in place so I doubt that's it.

When one of them has it open, the other can't open it in any way. They double click the file itself, and excel opens, but doesn't load the workbook. They just get a "File Not Found" error.

But it doesn't happen all the time. They've tried deducing whether it was one person's machine or the other, loading it in different ways and order, and it still has this annoying little problem.

I can't remember the filesystem... I think it's a modern version of NT.

Anyone know what might be causing this?

Cheers
C
