I have a workbook that is read only for the majority and read / write for only a few. I have an issue where even when I have saved changes and closed the work book it is still showing I am in there (for anything from a few minutes to a few hours) and other users cannot get in. I thought it was only me but it now appears that it happens with others with write access.

Is there a way via an exit button perhaps to force Excel to close fully or is it the 2nd rate IT system we have?

Many thanks, Deb
