Novell network shared file issue

Hi
we use novell directory for file sharing and network storage. when a user works on a shared file other user get a message " read only, this file is opened by user xxx". so we know who has it opened and contact the person if somebody needs to write something on it asap. however recently i find the read only message show " file is opened by "" message and no user name is specified. So we get confused who has it opened. Our users do have windows user id but it is always same as novell userid to identify users easily and readily.

We have excel 2003, 2007 and 2010 version in the organization and people open up the shared file in one of this version which they are comfortable at.

ASKER

you mean on Novell client properties field or server side? please specify.
In your Netware management utility of choice (Nwadmin, ConsoleOne, iManager), properties of the user accounts.
Ok..I am not the admin for Novel server , I am only supporting client side ..so I need to talk to our Novell directory admin for this..right?
