We've been having the same problem with our Windows 2003 SP2 server since end of February/early March. The problem only happens with Excel files. The Excel file can be modified and saved, but the file can't be moved, deleted or renamed. As stated previously, if I reboot the server, the problem goes away until the Excel file is first opened then it appears locked permanently until the next reboot. I'm wondering if a recent Microsoft update has suddenly caused this problem? We have McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0 with patch 16 and latest DAT installed on the server, any chance either of you are using this as well? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, as this problem is really frustrating!!
