I can close every file one by one (but doing that for 1300 files ?).
Rebooting helps but then when that user opens a file in that directory
and closes it again, the file stays in Computer Management Sessions and
thus keeping it locked.

Doesn't that tool have a button to force closure of such files? If not,
rebooting their computer is likely to be helpful.

I found out that in Computer Management in Sessions one user has over
1300 Excel files open. That's probably why the system is returning a
sharing violation.
This doesn't solve my problem however. This user has in fact no Excel
files open, the system probably just doesn't see that they are actually
closed. ?????
Any suggestions ?

Don't count on it. Office applications often 'lock' by creating nearby
extra files. Check for extra funny-named files in the directory.

So, Excel is reporting this problem because it is getting a "sharing
violation" when it tries to open this file for read/write deny write.
Excel just assumes that this is because someone is editing the file.
For some reason, you're the file system is returning sharing violation
on this file and others in the directory - but is allowing read-only
access. Does this persist - even when you reboot? It sounds like
someone is attaching the SAN device and opening the file. Or there is
some component in the file system stack (filter?) that is returning the
sharing violation.

Hi,
I'm a newbie to disk management, so forgive me if I say or ask something
stupid.
We got a Compaq server tower with a "SAN hard-disk bay" (raid 5) last
week I upgraded the firmware of this bay and since then I get error
messages in one folder (yes only one). When someone tries to open an
Excel file in this folder he/she get's the message :
SomeFile.xls is locked for editing by 'SomeUser'.
Open read-only or click notify to open read-only and receive
notification when the document is no longer in use.
Needless to say nobody is using that file.
This folder contains only Excel files and they are almost all created in
an older version of Excel.
When I copy the folder and use the new folder to work with everything
works fine. I can only do this for test purposes because I can't delete
or rename the old folder (same message as above), all links would thus
remain pointed to the 'read-only' files.
Did someone encounter a similar problem and has solved it ???
HELP PLEASE !
Kind regards.
