File is on server

Person 1 running Office XP has an Excel file open. Person 2 with Office
2007 goes to open excel file. Person 2 receives file in use by Person 1
message. So Person 2 cancels opening the file. Goes to Person 1 and says
please close file. Person 1 closes file. Person 2 opens file but is unable
to save changes.

"file name.xls' is currently in use. Try again later.

Using Windows Explorer, if you try to delete the file you receive a Cannot
delete file name: It is being used by another peron or program.

Close any programs that might be using the file and try again later.
