ASKER
"[filename] is locked for editing by 'another user'."
sorry for the dumb question but did you restart samba also?
ASKER
no this is still running during the business hour, i don't want to cause bigger problem by restarting the samba file service.
is it by executing:
is it by executing:
sudo /etc/init.d/samba reload
OR
sudo smbd reload

would that kill all of the user session temporarily ?
I'm worry if i do that then it would corrupt the other files opened by other user working in their MS Office application ?

the laptop has been restarted already, and yes only this particular user who got problem opening this file from the mapped network drive.
So no other user get the error while opening this file?
