Re: [libreoffice-users] Excel - Calc file locking

Hi Tom,
    you are right but this is not the problem... the problem is that I 
don't know who have the file opened at this time (I can tell my collegue 
to close the file)! Excel users see last Excel user that have used the 
file, LibreOffice users see unknown user... expected result is available 
only if all users use Excel or LibreOffice (not mixed environment).
