File in Use Message

[novice007]

I am having an issue which may be more related to Internet Explorer than Excel.

I have a spreadsheet which I have made available to a wider audience by making it available from a web page. However, when I use IE8 to access the link, it brings up the Excel file with [1] at the end of the file name and then results in a message of "File in Use", however I am the only one accessing it and I do not have any other sessions running. When I access the spreadsheet directly, i.e. without going via web link, it works ok.


Any suggestions please?

Hi Novice007

Why not change the name of the original file on your computer?

Hi ahhhmed.


What do you mean by changing the name of original file. I will still eventually have the same problem, won't I?
