Once the other computer is located, select Open Files option and click on the Finish button. Once the open file is closed, the blocking user will be removed from the File and the File will become unlocked.
As mentioned above, Excel, Word and other Microsoft Office files can get locked, even if they are not being shared with other users. This happens due to the way Microsoft Office creates a temporary ownership file whenever a Microsoft Office File is opened and automatically deletes the temporary ownership file as soon as the File is closed. The only way to fix this issue is to locate the temporary ownership file on your computer and delete the ownership file. Right-click on the Start button and click on File Explorer.
Why is Excel reporting the wrong user having the file open? What can be done to correct how Excel reports who has the file open for editing? With multiple users editing a financial spreadsheet, it is vital that the correct user is identified as the editor for auditing purposes.
In a recent issue with this, it would have taken far less time to track down who has the file open if it had reported correctly. As it was, we had to go desk by desk to see who if any had it open.
I am experiencing the same issue. We have a server and Windows7 clients running Office I'm just now starting the process of diagnosing. I see that the server shows the proper user has the file open.
I have found that on a Terminal Server, Office Personalization does not run for new users. Excel defaults to the user that installed MS Office, rather than the currently logged on user. I have had to manually correct the data for each new user. This does not impact the issue I am experiencing. The user's name that shows as having the file lock does not change, regardless of the system that has the file locked.
I have tested on multiple machines none of which have ever been used by the user showing as having the file locked. I had the same issue. This worked when accessing the files properties using win 7 Pro. I resolved it by right clicking on the file and selecting properties. Click on the details tab and then click remove properties and personal information.
Select remove the following properties from this file. Then click on the box names last saved by. Click ok. I did this and the file started to display the proper user that had the file open. I am not sure why it worked for me, but it did. I havn't had any users complain about this issue in a week now. Hope it helps! I am running in to the same issue and have already tried to install the HOT Fix as per the following information below.
I have also tried to "Remove Last saved by details" from the file to no avail. We are on windows 7 Office any help is much appreciated.
