Hi,
I've created an Excel workbook (Excel 2003 (11.8120.8122) SP2), placed
it on a shared network server, and then selected
Tools>Protection>Protect and Share Workbook... with the "Share and
track changes" option selected, and password protection set.

However, if I attempt to open it when someone else has it open, I get
the message stating that the workbook is opened by user so and so and
am given the option to open it as Read-Only, Notify, etc.

Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks,
Linda
