Default File in use by another user

Hi



I have done an upgrade from Office 2003 to Office 2010 recently & since then we have noticed a slight difference in the below:

When an office file is opened by a user & another user in our office wants to access this same file we get the following message 'file is in use by another user'. In Office 2003 it stated which user had this file open. It becomes quite annoying when staff are asking everybody individually if they are in this file or not.

Is there a fix or a patch in Office 2010 that would let users know who is in the file?

Thanks for your help


Colin

If a file is on a server or shared drive, there is nothing you can do until someone finishes what they do or they close the file. Doesn't matter what version of Office you have.
