Do I run this as a script on the NAS? There is no Windows fileserver and most of the local machines are Mac's.

I set this NAS up about a year ago and everything worked great until a few months ago when users no longer got prompted that the file was open and they could only open it as read-only. Now they can open the file in normal read-write mode but if someone else is working on it they can't save changes. I would like the file to lock if someone has it open. <br />
<br />
Recently, this file became invisible to the Mac users except one who had admin rights on the NAS and only the PC's users can access it. The Read-Write issue still exists. I am stumped. <br />
<br />
Summary:<br />
1. Need to have read-only on the xlsx file when another user has it opened. <br />
2. Need to have the file visible to Mac users. <br />
<br />
Thanks, <br />
Chris
