"Someone else is working in <file> right now" Error Occurs When Saving to Excel

Publiseringsdato: Feb 23, 2026
Beskrivelse

When saving an Excel file on a network shared folder (\\DRIVE\DATA) in Excel, the error message follows:
 

"Someone else is working in <file> Please try again later"

 

Cause

This is a limitation of MS Office and shared folders in Windows. When the folder is granted with "Change" permission, all Excel files are not savable. 

 

Løsning

Contact MS Support to see if they have any workarounds. Or Convert the Excel files to CSV.
