At my work (Canon) I noticed a slight problem with Excel, a group of people (5-10) use the same excel file, which they update from time to time. When one person opens the file, and then another person tried to open the file, there should be a "File in Use" message showing, with options Read-only and Notify. Well the problem is that not every person gets that message. To be specific 4 people never get that message. How can this be fixed, so every one would get File in Use message.
Btw some computers are windows 2000 with Excel 2000 sp3, and some are Windows xp with Excel 2002 Sp3.
Note: problem is not system specific, few 2000 and few xp are affected.
