File Lock

I am not excel savy at all so I need all the help I can get. Some of my
end-users keep getting a "File Lock" fault that tells them that they can't
save it unless they save as somthing else. The excel file is share between 5
computers. This File Lock started happening today and everyone has said "I
didn't change or touch anything". What are some steps I can do to find and
fix this File Lock fault. Thanks

I wonder if one user has opened the file and it's opening as read only for
all other users. When the other users want to save it, since it's read only,
it's forcing them to save with another name.
