We have a new problem with a old server and excel documents, If you open a excel document on the server and try and save it, it says that the document is already in use and only lets you save it as a different name.
This problem is only with excel documents, it look like it is creating a file lock and will only free that lock with a reboot, this then makes the original document corrupt. We have ran chkdsk and found error, so we have replaced the raid card and recreated volume, we carried out a couple of partition restore using symantec system recovery but the problem is still there.
I have also tried moving the data to another server, but this is the same it only seems to work when it is moved to are Nas box.
We have also tried disabling antivirus and things like op locks, I more than convinced that the data has been corrupt for while but creating new excel documents work ok.
info = Dell poweredge 4600, RAID 1 (OS) RAID 5 (DATA), Windows 2000 server sp4. PC using XP, Windows 2000 and Excel 2000, 2002, 2003.
