IF YOU OPEN EXCEL FIRST AND BROWSE TO THE FILE FROM WITHIN PROGRAM then the notification such as 'file locked' opens JUST FINE and there is no problem because you get to click 'read-only' and continue. Then you get the choice to restart the program. Then again, and message will tell you something like 'Excel cannot be stopped at the moment'. You can use the cross at top right of the green intro box. IF THEY OPEN THE FILE FROM WINDOWS EXPLORER (after someone else has already got it open), the Excel 2013 green intro box pops up as normal as the program loads to open the file.
But the second user never gets the chance to click 'read only' and continue. This is not our issue.) Other people genuinely have got the file open, so there is a genuine and appropriate lock. (BTW: what frustrates my internet searches is that there has been a lot of recent issues with false Excel file locks.
#EXCEL FOR MAC CRASHES WHEN BREAK LINKS UPDATE#
It seems to be triggered by those grey rectangular messages that may pop-up at the beginning when you open a file, such as 'need to update links', 'cannot update links due to one being broken', 'password required', or most commonly 'locked for editing by someone else, would you like read-only?', BUT IT NEVER QUITE GETS THIS FAR, so you never see the message itself. We have an issue on our network where Excel (2013) will crash on opening.
