Reboot between file openings, store file on your computer, open file and never
close it
: I have a similiar problem, but the difference is I have
: files located on a web server (unix box) and I open up
: the .xls file through IE. The problem I got is after I
: open a particular file once and close, from now on I will
: always get "File in Use" warning if open the same file
: again.
:
: I knew if I delete all temporary file, i will have a clean
: file, but is there any way to not have this happen?
:
: Thanks.
