The first thing I checked was for open files and didn't see anyone else having 
it open except for the user who was modifying it and trying to save it.

We have been seeing some file locking on one of our file servers with McCrappy, 
but most times its been a user having a file open over the network ( in read 
and write mode) and another user is trying to open it and modify it, causing 
the lock.

Hmmm... we are running McCrappy on that server.  Was it the same circumstance 
in that domain users couldn't save the file yet a domain admin could?  We're 
not seeing any blue screens or weird temp files.

Another question - AV? I had a similar issue on a W2K3 file server a couple of 
years ago where users couldn't even edit their own Excel files in their Home 
drives with the same error message. In addition, the server was blue-screening 
and creating all kinds of temp files. Turned out to be McAfee. As soon as I 
upgraded the server to Forefront the problem went away.

Just a hunch...

Local editing, or over the network?
