Opening excel attachment

[SotjeRuud]

Hi There again,

I have created an excel file with sort of a workflow in it. Using buttons
the file is mailed from one to another, each time with a new status.
The users open the file most of the times from the attachment in the e-mail.
This sometimes gives an error when a file, with the same filename, is opened
a second time. When the computer is restarted the file can be openend again.

Any suggestions anyone?

You can't open two files in excel with the same file name. I doubt there is
much you can do about that. The opening file can't do anything because it
never gets opened.

Tom,

It is not opening two files with the same name at the same time, but
sequentially after closing one.
Because the file works with statuses, it can happen that let's say at 10:00
file 1000.xls is opened. After working with is the file will be closed. At
11:00 file 1000.xls comes in again via the e-mail, but this time with an
updated status. Opening this file is impossible unless the computer is
retarted.

Any suggestions?
