It might be just me and my anti-M$oft attitude, but that smells like a "fix" for their convoluted and impossible to maintain security "system"....to use the term very loosely.

It worked for me in a nanosecond and re-inspecting the document found no further problems. The document could then be saved and no more annoying ‘sharing violation’ pop-up! ________________________________ From: M Jarvis <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, July 3, 2012 1:03 PM Subject: [NF] Excel 2010 sharing violation after upgrade I don't have all the facts in just yet but am trying to be proactive for when the details emerge. Managers at our facility share certain XLS files on a network drive in a bunch of sub folders. Access is limited due to group membership setup in Active Directory. Upgraded to Excel 2010, and it seems they can not save files w/o a 'Sharing Violation' message and instructions to save it as a different file name, which of course they can't do (needs ongoing updates to these files and need to know what they are called of course). *Assuming* nothing changed in AD, is there some setting in the new (to us) Excel that would cause this? I see compatibility mode is on, but that just effects Excel versions (i.e. saves as XLS rather than straight XLSX). More details after I get on the user's machine remotely and can glean more info and error messages (google here I come). Any ideas? _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
