Hi Tom,
you are right but this is not the problem... the problem is that I
don't know who have the file opened at this time (I can tell my collegue
to close the file)! Excel users see last Excel user that have used the
file, LibreOffice users see unknown user... expected result is available
only if all users use Excel or LibreOffice (not mixed environment).

Hi :)
This seems to be normal behaviour. The first person to open the document should
be able to edit it. If the document is then opened a 2nd and 3rd (or more) time
then it can only be edited by the 1st one. The other people can open it as
"read only".
If everyone could edit the same cells at the same time then there might be some
confusion about which edit to keep because there are a lot of contradictory
'obvious' answers.
It might be worth trying to open the document in google-docs a number of times
and see how it gets handled there.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Excel - Calc file locking
Hi,
I have strange behaviour with file locking when xls file are accessed by
LibreOffice and Excel.
Situation:
* user A with Excel 2000
* user B with LibreOffice 3.3 / OpenOffice 3.2
Step to reproduce:
* user A open, modify,save and close "example.xml" file with Excel 2000
* user B open "example.xml" with LibreOffice 3.3
* user A open "example.xml" and Excel tell the user that file is
opened by user A (expected: user B)
* user A open "example.xml" with LibreOffice and the program tell
the user that file is opened by user B (as expected)
Users may be confused by this messages. Is a bug or a well know behaviour?
