Excel from NT to 2000

[Peter]

We have just migrated from NT to 2000 taking with us Excel
documents written in Office 97 format.
Previously, if a user was in a spreadsheet and another
users tried to open it, the second users wouls get the
options, cancel, read-only or notify. Now on a 50-50
basis, users either get this message correctly or are
allowed in. We then have two users using the same file
which usually results in the document corrupting and any
work being lost.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

On the face of it I would say impossible, but then.....

Are you sure none of these files have been changed in excel to allow shared.
(It's not great to share XL files anyhow, because...they often corrupt)

All I could think of

None of the files are set to share.

But thanks for taking the time to answer.
