Hi,

I'm having this weird problem. I've been looking on Google, Google Groups
and Microsoft's support site for the past hour and I can't find anything
(well, I found some articles, but with no replies...).

I have a file server that's running Win2k3 (no SP applied yet). The client
workstations are Win2k SP4 with Office XP SP2.

Now, one user opens up a Excel file on the file server. The workbook is NOT
shared. The 2nd user opens the file; he should get a message saying "The
file is locked for editing", but he doesn't. At least, not all the times;
sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

What gives ? Any of you met this problem, and what was the solution ?

Thank you.
