From: cmatera on 13 May 2008 12:01 We have a 2003 Server in a LAN environment. Some of our users are trying to save changes to a spreadsheet using Office 2003SP3. When the user tries to save the changes, the error msg from excel is "can't save - file in use." Copying the folder down to the local machine and copying it back up seems to work. However, simply working from the server does not work. Drives are mapped to letters i.e.: G:\ = \\servername\group\directory and the permissions are setup correctly, in fact this hasn't been an issue until last week. Running Process Explorer from sysinternals on the server doesn't show any locks or handles on the file. Disabling our A/V scanner does not work. A reboot of the server will fix the issue...however this is less than desirable. We're running windows 2003R2 SP2, and our client machines are running XP Pro SP2. Has anyone experienced this, and does anyone have suggestions? Thanks! Chris Matera |
