Excel crashed while I was setting up links between two
workbooks. Tried logging out and reopening/closing books
but they are still locked by me so that even I can't edit
them. I can get round one problem by making a copy BUT
the other workbook is linked to by many others and needs
editing so ...
How can I release the 'locked for editing' lock following
the crash ? - Thanks in anticipation ...
 
In the end we had to reboot the server and that cleared
the locks. If anyone knows of a better way please let us
know - Thanks.
