I have just moved a user to a different computer. I copied his files from his old computer to the new one. Normally this works but this time all of his word and excel files in his My documents folder when opened say that they are in use by hime and would we like to make a copy to work on. I'm using MS office 97 on both and windows XP pro on both.

What would cause this?

Thank in advance
