Hi , Pls could you help,

I have a file on a network and 3 of us use the file at different times.
One person saves the file and then closes the excel file down and even switch off their PC, when I try open the file it says another user is using the file and you have only READ Only access. What could the problem be?
We have other files that we use and its not happening to the other files

Thanks
Vaughan
