Hey guys I'm having a problem. Right now I got a server and 1 workstation networked at my work, througha switch. We are gonna add more later but anyway. The problem is the files for invoice tracking and stuff are stored on the server and shared with permissions for anyone on the domain to edit and view. Well the problem is that sometimes while working on files on the workstation, they don't close on the server when you close them, so that next time you open them it tells you you have to open it in read only because someone else has them on, even though I've closed it, or haven't even opened that file at all yet, that day. So i have to log on to the server and close it manually. I've tried a few things: Removed caching on the share, didn't work Turned off auto save in excel, didn't work In file sharing, turned it to max bandwidth for file sharing, didn't help Any ideas guys? I'm lost, sometimes it'll say a file has 3 read instances open, even though i've only tried to just open it once and got an error btw they are excel files, Quickbooks never seems to give me errors yet
