We are using Windows Server 2000 & several versions of Excel (2000 / XP /
2003).
When opening Excel files from the network, SOME users get the Notification
that the File is In Use - locked for editing by <user - with a choice to
Open as Read-Only, Notify when avail, or Cancel.

The pblm is that NOT EVERYBODY gets this msg - some simply have the file
open up with the word (Sharing) in the Title Bar!! When you've got a deskful
of work to input you're not always looking at the Title Bar to see if the
file is Shared or not.

I first thought this was caused by diff vers of Excel, maybe a change made
to the newest version? But I've since found it doesn't matter WHICH Excel
you're using - one Excel 2003 user GOT the Read-Only warning, but two offices
over another Excel 2003 user got the (Sharing) Title instead!

I'm at my wit's end - I NEED that Notification box to come up on EVERY
networked Excel file & on EVERY user's machine! Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.
