Microsoft Office.
Check with your antivirus provider to make sure that the current version of the application, including
updates, is installed. The antivirus provider might also have information or solutions for sharing violation
issues.
Excel saves a file using three steps (if the file already exists in the target location):
If Excel cannot delete the original file or cannot rename the temporary file, this error message appears.
To temporarily work around this problem (providing another user does not have a read lock on the file),
save the workbook to a local hard disk, or to a folder where you do have Modify and Delete rights. You
may then be able to copy the file to the network drive.
This problem can also appear if you have an antivirus program installed either on your computer or on
the network server. If this is the case, you may want to temporarily turn off or remove the antivirus
program. If files save correctly, contact the anti-virus vendor and ask if there is an update or correction
to this problem.
