I have a shared workbook on a shared drive. About once a week it says its locked by another user and that I can only open as read only. The only problem is the user name it gives either has excel closed or has their entire computer turned off. I cant seem to figure out why.

Welcome to the Board!
That's one of the many reasons shared workbooks suck. I haven't used them in years, but when this happened to me I'd have to have someone in IT kill the instance. No particular rhyme or reason, but it's what we had to do.
