Workbook won't open but if another person opens it and save it it will open

[krodriguez]

Hello,

I have this excel file that is in a shared drive, sometime this file will not open or will crash trying to open, but when another co-worker opens the file (yes they can open it) and saved the file with another name then it will work for me.

Any ideas why this could be happening?

Thanks!

I'd try running Disk Cleanup on your machine. Close down ALL applications first, then open Explorer, right-click the C: drive, choose Properties, choose the Tools tab and click Disk Cleanup.

Is the file shareable? Maybe the other user should open it, make it unshareable, confirm removing change history, make it shareable again, then save and close it.
