Hello,

We are using a shared workbook in an office with up to 25 users sharing the workbook at any given time. Currently we are getting an error that states "locked for editing by user - "XXXXXX" Read Only...."

The problem is that the username is generic and could by anyone. We have had everyone log out of excel to clear it up, but it is still giving us that same error. Does anyone have any suggestions as how to "kick" whichever user is locking it up so that we can gain access again? Our plan is that once we get in there we will have everyone correct the username fiasco by placing unique info in there, but until then we are stuck.

I appreciate any assistance!

Oh yeah, it's Excel 2003.
Thanks!
