Excel file is locked for editing by who?

[achilleus]

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

We have a Excel 2003 file we share on a network drive. When the file is opened by someone else, you get a "NAMEOFFILE.XLS is locked for editing by ''.

My question is...why is it that I can't see who has the file open? The quotes have no name between them. It is just blank. We want to be able to see how has the file open currently (other than going to the Shared Folder > Open Files).

Thanks again!

Figured it out right after I posted. :/

Just need to add the Office User name (Tools > Options > General tab > User name.

Thanks anyway!
