file sharing

By highlander718 ·
apparently when opening a (Excel) file that is already opened by another user, we are no longer getting the "this file is opened by ...open as read only, notify or cancel" message.
Users open the file normaly, edit, save, no errors, but if the file was opened previously by someone else, nothing is actually saved.
I guess the file is opening by default as "read only" without notifying the user.
We recently switched from Novell to Win2k file server if I create a new folder with a new file, that new file will come up with the message....
where do I have to look ?

Have to ask, what are the permissions on the suspect folder?

Full. And it's not only one particular folder, but everything that was created on the old Novell file server and migrated to the Win2k one.
