Excel spreadsheet locked for editing by the user themselves first time opening

Asked by vmamedov in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: filename.xls is locked for editing by username. click notify to open a read-only...

There is one user who accesses excel spreadsheets via a network share who often gets error message: "filename.xls is locked for editing by the username(its the user themselves) click to notify to open a read-only...." This happends when first trying to open the file by double clicking on the filename. After about 3-4 attemps of hitting cancel the user gets in to open the file. The user is on windows 2000 pro and the share is on windows 2003 server.
