One of them reports that '50% of the time' she tries to open a spreadsheet from the file server, an information message comes up stating: foo.xlsx is locked for editing. By 'another user'. Open 'Read-Only' or click 'Notify' to open read-only and receive notification. Jan 28, 2013 We have 2003 Excel workbook that is located on a server and also it has been shared via menu path Tools - Share Workbook to enable the 4 users to work in it simultaneously. It has been working fine for several months but now we get the.is locked for editing. Message randomly. This problem may occur due to following reasons: The file. 1. Excel Locked For Editing Fix 2. Microsoft Teams Excel Sheet Locked For Editing Software 3. Sharepoint Excel File Locked For Editing Updates: In the last couple posts, we talked about how editing in Excel Web App works, how it’s different than editing in the Excel desktop client, and the kinds of things you can do in the Excel Web App. If you haven’t read about the editing experience yet, start with the Editing in Excel Web App – Part I post. Today I am going to cover how Excel Web App’s editing functionality enables easier collaboration on spreadsheets among multiple authors. COLLABORATIVE EDITING: WHAT’S THAT? Picture this scenario: you’re thirty minutes away from a five o’clock deadline at work, and one of the last things you need to do is update a spreadsheet with the latest figures. You start Excel and attempt to load the spreadsheet, only to find out that someone else already has the file open. You are “locked out” of the spreadsheet, unable to complete your task. Worse yet (ok, I’m being a little dramatic here, but I know many out you will relate to this) the person that has the file open has left for the day and you have no way to edit the file before your deadline. You are stuck. Does this story sound familiar to you? I know it does to me! With Excel Web App one of the goals we set out to achieve was to improve how multiple people work with and share spreadsheets. We wanted to build an experience where people could edit their spreadsheets without having to worry about the file being locked by someone else (unless exclusive access is what you desire, more on that in a moment). Authors can come and go as they please, multiple authors can be editing the same spreadsheet at the same time, and the Excel Web App manages all the changes. HOW DOES IT WORK? EXCEL LOCKED FOR EDITING FIX Getting collaborative editing to work is really easy. There’s no switch to turn on, no special setting to enable. Basically, if two or more people have “edit” permissions on a file, then those people will be able to edit the file at any point, regardless of who is already editing. So, really, the only step to enable collaboration it to set the proper permissions on the file for those you want to grant “edit” access to (since permissions work differently whether you’re talking about SharePoint 2010 or Windows Live SkyDrive or SharePoint Online, I’m not going to go into those details here). Once the permissions are in place, you are all set! The edits that other users make will appear in near “real time” on your screen. This means that, in most cases, you will see other people’s edits pretty much as they make them. There are exceptions to this rule, such as network issues, but in general that is the experience you should get. There may be times when you want to ensure you are the only person editing a file. For those cases, SharePoint provides the ability to “checkout” files. When a file is checked out, it is locked for exclusive access by the person who initiated the checkout. This lock ensures exclusivity whether editing in the Excel desktop client or Excel Web App, and is persistent until the file is either checked in or the lock is released. Lastly – this doesn’t have anything to do with how it works, but I’m getting it out of the way now because I know the question will come up if I don’t – the collaborative editing functionality is only a feature of Excel Web App. In other words, in order for the feature to work, everyone who wants to edit the spreadsheet must be editing via Excel Web App. In the 2010 release of Office, the Excel desktop client cannot participate in collaborative editing. I hope we can change that in a future release. SIMULTANEOUS EDITING With collaborative editing, it is now possible for two or more people to edit a spreadsheet at the same time. So what happens if these authors are trying to edit the same cell or range of data? Generally speaking, Excel Web App takes a last-person-wins approach. This means that if John and Jane both type a value into cell A1 at roughly the same time, the submission that came in last, from the point of view of the Excel Web App server, is the value that both users will see. We tried to keep the model simple, something that would be easy for users to understand. And in talking to customers we found that many, if not most, collaborative scenarios don’t involve collaborators editing the same exact cells. Having said that, I would love to hear any thoughts you may have on your collaborative scenarios and how you’d like to see our handling of editing conflicts improve in the future. WHO’S THERE? With collaboration, editing a spreadsheet may never again be a solo experience (unless you want it to), so we felt it would be a good idea to let you know who else is editing the spreadsheet at the same time as you. For that, we added a little presence area at the bottom right of the editing window that tells you at a glance how many people currently have the file open for editing. To see the list of names of all the editors in the spreadsheet, just click on the presence indicator and a window will pop up with the information. Finally, when someone enters the file for editing, Excel Web App will alert you to this with a short message. INTERESTING COLLABORATIVE SCENARIOS To close off this post, I thought I would spur your imagination by talking about some interesting ways in which you can put Excel Web App’s collaborative features to use. Data collection spreadsheets – need to collect data (e.g. financial figures, status, etc.) from multiple people into a single Excel spreadsheet? Create a sheet for each person who will be entering data, or any other method that works for you, and give each person write permissions to the file.

The Best Ad blocker list is very long rather to select which one is best for Windows OS. Advertisement is the re-owned way for generating revenue for websites admins. Monitor changes as they happen – if you need to regularly monitor information from one or more people, and that information changes throughout the day, have those people enter their status information into a spreadsheet, and you can just keep the file open and monitor changes as they happen. Follow along in a meeting – I see a lot of meetings around here where what’s projected on the screen is a spreadsheet that displays status or information of some kind, and then throughout the meeting the spreadsheet is updated based on feedback from the other participants. With Excel Web App, other participants, both present or attending remotely, can follow along with the changes on their own laptops or even participate in making updates without having to commandeer the facilitator’s computer. Programmatic collaboration – If you have Excel Services and Excel Web App installed together, you can use the Web Services API to programmatically edit spreadsheets at the same time that actual users are editing. Imagine a custom app that pumps data into a spreadsheet that others use as they work on the spreadsheet as well. CONCLUSION The goal of the collaboration work we did in Excel Web App was to remove the “locked file” experience from users’ workflow in collaborative scenarios and enable interesting new ways for people to work together around spreadsheets. There are still times when locking a file for exclusive access is the desired behavior, and SharePoint enables that through checkout. I look forward to hearing about your experiences using these features in your own work. If you have any feedback around how you’d like to see us improve this area going forward, feel free to leave us a comment. Active1 year, 1 month ago A few of my users are in and out of various Excel 2007 spreadsheets all day. One of them reports that '50% of the time' she tries to open a spreadsheet from the file server, an information message comes up stating: foo.xlsx is locked for editing by 'another user'. Open 'Read-Only' or click 'Notify' to open read-only and receive notification when the document is no longer in use. Nine times out of ten the document is not open by another user. My users immediately try to open the same document again, and it works. I imagine this is caused by Excel leaving owner files on the server, but I do not know why. An added clue: When one of my users selects 'Notify,' a dialog pops up in a moment informing them the file is available for them to edit. Any guidance on how to solve this issue and make my users' days flow better? Chris ChrisChris 68722 gold badges88 silver badges1515 bronze badges 11 ANSWERS Straight from Microsoft KB 313472: This behaviour may occur if Word determines that the owner file for the document already exists. This may occur if one or more of the following conditions are true: * Word previously quit improperly and, therefore, did not delete the owner file. -or- * A second instance of Word is running in the background with the document already open. -or- * The document is shared over a network, and another user has it open. From my personal experience, I've found a combination of the first andthird point above can recreate this error quite constantly. Temp files, left next to the original file on the network (especiallyif the file is large, she copy-pastes a LOT or it is open all day) are the cause. To resolve this issue, first confirm that another user on the network does not have the document open. If the document is in use, open the document as read-only. If it is not in use, quit all instances of Word, and then remove the owner file. To do so, follow these steps. NOTE: Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps. 1. Quit all instances of Word. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Save all your work, and then quit all programs. 2. Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to open the Windows Security dialog box. 3. Click Task Manager, and then click the Processes tab. 4. Click Winword.exe, and then click End Process. 5. In the Task Manager Warning dialog box, click Yes. If you receive a message that states that the program is not responding, click End Now. 6. Repeat steps d and e for each occurrence of Winword.exe. 7. On the File menu, click Exit Task Manager. 2. Start Windows Explorer, and then browse to the folder that contains the document file that you tried to open when you received the error message. 3. Delete the owner file.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus License Key offers a protection wherein numerous layers of recognition are shielding you from various dangers before it can really assault your PC. ESET NOD32 Antivirus 10 Keys is very supportive to clean all external, internal storage devices. The owner file is located in the same folder as the document that you tried to open. The owner file name uses the following convention: It begins with a tilde (~), followed by a dollar sign ($), followed by the remainder of the document file name. The file name extension is .doc. For example, the owner file for Document.doc is named ~$cument.doc. 4. Start Word. If Word asks you whether you want to load the changes that were made to the Global or Normal template, click No. 5. Open your document. Additional note for documents shared over a network: If there are multiple people that could be editing the doc, it can sometimes be hard to figure out who might have the doc open. As shown on TechTalkMadness, the best way to find the answer is to use Computer Management on the system that hosts the shared file. Go to Computer Management -> System Tools -> Shared Folders -> Open Files to find out who has a document locked. If the user can't be contacted to disconnect themselves, you can forcefully do so by right clicking the locked file and selecting Close Open File (warning: the user might lose their changes).

This is a shared Excel workbook, they're supposed to be opened by multiple users!) Anyway what solved our problem was by turning the details tab off in Explorer (this is under Windows 7 - click Organise where the menu bar is normally, then Layout, then make sure Details is unticked - and also Preview by the sounds of it.) Doing this immediately fixed our problem. It seems that with the details tab visible it keeps the file open for too long and Office apps can't then access it. This also explains why people were having problems opening documents they had created themselves and nobody else was using. MalvineousMalvineous 1,69122 gold badges1414 silver badges2929 bronze badges I had this and resolved it by turning off Indexing Service in Windows. The effect was instant, so I suspect Indexing service had deadlocked on the file in question. On XP, Turn off indexing service like this: click the Start button, then Search. From the window that opens, choose Change preferences (bottom left). Click 'Without Indexing Service', the 'No, do not enable Indexing service' radio button, and OK. I found the problem by downloading handle.exe. handle.exe tells you which program has the file open, and in my case it turned out to be cidaemon.exe. A quick google confirmed that it is the actual indexer of Windows' indexing service. Thanks Microsoft, another 2 hours of value added to my day. grahamgraham The pop-up tip displayed by explorer also causes the problem (same effect as the details pane). Disable it in Folder options > View tab gsandorxgsandorx I've seen this error today, when another user genuinely did have the file open. The problem was that Excel tells the second user that it's 'another user' rather than reporting the first user's actual name, making it difficult to work out who has it open. I assumed this should be the name in the Office/Excel options - this is set correctly for both users. In our case the first user with the file open is on Excel 2007; the second user is on Excel 2010; perhaps there's some incompatibility which causes the second user's Excel to be unable to get the real name. UPDATE: INSTALL PATCH TO FIX NAME RESOLUTION UPDATE 12 sept 2012: Load * KB2598133 for Office 2007 or * KB2598143 for Office 2010 (different packs for 32 and 64 bits!) to fix the incorrect names in the message. Daniel BowenDaniel Bowen I had the exact same issue. Couldn't open file on a network share to edit. But none of suggestions helped. Turned out that the issue was as follows: Previously computer was being used and logged in by a local account. After I joined AD, i copied Application Data and Local Settings folder (on Windows XP) to AD user profile. After the operation i later discovered that Local SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftOffice didn't have permissions for newly created user and thus office was prompting me with this dialog for every file. I had previously tried disabling firewall/antivirus on host and client machines, disabling indexing service on host machine, but none helped. So i set appropriate permissions for Office folder and everything now works. Janis VeinbergsJanis Veinbergs 21711 gold badge33 silver badges1212 bronze badges If you have the preview pane turned on in Windows 7's Explorer, you will get this error. Turning off the preview pane worked for me. Pops 4,8532525 gold badges6464 silver badges9191 bronze badges LesLes Here is what I found in our environment. All users 'My Documents' maps to a network share on our SAN. We run a terminal server with Office installed that utilizes the same network share on our SAN. If an end user is using an Office product, and then does not log off completely but rather X out, the the file is shown as locked by the person who installed Office on the terminal server (yours truly). If the end user logs back in to the disconnected terminal server session and logs off properly, the Office application is then closed and the file is unlocked. Luke1_28Luke1_28 There is an official Microsoft blogpost up.It even has a flow chart. SHAREPOINT EXCEL FILE LOCKED FOR EDITING * The Microsoft Excel Support Team Blog, Will Buffington, The Definitive ‘Locked File’ Post (updated 8/23/2017) (Archived here.) The main points are these: * Update Windows * Update Office * Disable Details Pane and Preview Pane * Configure OpLocks registry settings on client and reboot client. * Stop non-Microsoft services StackzOfZtuffStackzOfZtuff Precisely, there's a program called Unlocker, which unlocks locked files or folders. From wikipedia, Unlocker is a tool that can trace and unlock the locking protection commonly used in files on Microsoft Windows. However, its main use is to terminate the processes that are using a certain file, or force the processes to stop using the file, so the user can safely delete, rename or move the file. From official site, Ever had such an annoying message given by Windows? * Cannot delete Folder: it is being used by another person or program. * Cannot delete file: Access is denied * There has been a sharing violation. * The source or destination file may be in use. * The file is in use by another program or user. * Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use. Unlocker is the solution! 1. Simply right click the folder or file and select Unlocker 2. If the folder or file is locked, a window listing of lockers will appear 3. Simply click Unlock All and you are done! Be aware the installer comes with OpenCandy adware, just uncheck it while installing or use the portable version. OriolOriol 76988 gold badges1818 silver badges3737 bronze badges Another way, if you have access to the file server is to use the command openfiles.exe. In my case Word said I was locking the file, but openfiles.exe showed that it was a different user.
