No file locking in office 2004 with local user

[Seymore]

Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel A user shares his home folder on Mac OS X 10.5.8. This user has a Excel file open in Office 2004. When an other user opens the same file using AFP file sharing there is no message warning the user the file is being modified by the local user.
All software is up-to-date. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

This problem does not occur in Office 2008 with 10.6 clients.

I don¹t know how to solve it, but I know it occurs. It is unclear whether it
is an Apple or Microsoft problem. I therefore suggest you update all users
to office 2008 and 10.6 to avoid the problem.
