Hello,
I am using a shared spreadsheet within microsoft excel. I am having frequent trouble saving the file on several computers and getting the same message saying that their was "Unexpected file lock by user. Do you want to override lock and continue?" Does anyone know what my problem might be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Your problem is with the shared workbook: don't share workbooks as Excel isn't a multi-user tool.. I frequently encounter people who experience trouble using this functionality. You risk loss of data, wrong data and even workbook corruption.
