    Hi

    Just wondering if it's possible to unlock an excel file from a server. a domain user currently has the file open(excel). I have admin rights to the server. is there any way i can kick the user off. I dont need the user's changes as it is unlikely that he would have made any changes to the file.

    Thanks in advance.

    Potentially open the file and save it as a copy. Use the copy.

    Windows 2003 Server?

    Admin Tools \File Server management ->
    Share Folder Management \ Shared Folders \ Open Files

    Find the open file , right click and 'close open file'.
