I am trying to open a file on a network share, when it is already in use Excel tells me :
<file> is locked for editing
by ' '.
Then offers to let me open it as read only.
My question is where is Excel getting (or not getting) the user name, the users log into a windows domain (samba) with unique user ids and they all have user names defined in their local copies of Excel.
Till about a month ago Excel was returning the correct user name.
