Hello everyone,

 We have an excel file on a PDC. All of the sudden, the file could
 no longer be accessed. We keep getting a "file is locked" error.

 We have rebooted the PDC, and tried to rename the file. We tried to
 access the file from both Win95 and NT workstations. We have also
 checked the file permissions. The file is shared and even the file
 owner cannot access it. We have made sure that no-one has the
 file open.

                                                 any ideas will be
appreciated,

Eric
