unable to save changes to shared spreadsheet (07)

J

JimA

I have a large spreadsheet that resides on our Windows 2003 server and is
accessed via network shares at our location and terminal server at one remote
location.

It is currently saved in office 2003 format (XLS) and I had to install Excel
2007 since Microsoft released an update a couple of weeks ago that disabled
my sharing Excel 2003 spreadsheets. It by default takes the latest version
as the on that it will open with.

Intermittently, my users remote users receive , "unable to save file, locked
by Administrator" this is me and I am not using. They must do a save as and
that won't do as this is a shared spreadsheet that is huge (250MB). They also
receive other related messages.

It seems that if I can same this as a XLSX file that I might be okay but I
have a mix of 2007 and 2003 users. When I did a test save on the server the
file was about 1 MB as opposed to 250. All formatting, color and other
goodies were gone.

Any ideas on how I can put this darn thing to bed????

All help is very much appreciated.

Thanks
