Hi my name is Donald Jhon we have a community of Freelancers doing data entry jobs in various Microsoft products for this we have created a local area network with a central shared space to save the files. from last few days we are facing some issues while saving excel files over shared space the file says 'someone else is working on the file " but in reality the file is not opened by anyone else. i am attaching screen shot of the error so that someone may help me.
good day.

After some months I could say I am getting the hang of Microsoft Flow, however I could use some help with the following issue:
In a flow for reporting purposes, a temporary file (.xlsx) is created in a sharepoint folder by means of a template. This temporary file is then filled with rows and info from other sources. So far so good.
I use the body of this newly created and furnished file as an attachment for an e-mail to the chief. However, the attachment came out identical to the (empty) template file, without the rows and furnishing.
Adding a delay of two minutes before attaching and sending the mail solved it for relatively small reports, but this is not ideal as I want it to work regardless of file size. Furthermore I do not understand why it would send an empty (old) version of the temp. file in the first place, as all the furnishing operations should have executed before copying and attaching (the flow is entirely in series).
Sorry for the long story. Does anyone have a more elegant solution than using a Delay-node?
I was hoping someone could kindly help me with this issue. I have never faced this before and I am not able to solve it.
We have an Excel file on the network, that up to 10 people daily use, with Excel 365. The file contains a macro that connect to SAP. Until 3 weeks ago, everything was ok, and has been ok for over 6 years.
Now, we hired a new team member, who was given a new PC.
When our new team member tries to open the file on her new machine, there is first a message mentioning there is a problem with the file and proposing to try to recover as much as we can (see picture 1).
Then when she chooses "Yes", she gets another error message mentioning that the file is locked by 'another user'. Oddly enough, it says 'another user', and not the name of that user, and we tested and are 100% nobody else is using the file.
If she then select "Notify" or "Read only", another message pops up, info message from SAP Analysis for Windows.
Finally after she clicks 'OK', the file gets finally opened, but all macro are removed from it. There is a message about the repair:
The log file is added at the end of this post.
We don't understand where the issue exactly is, this is what we tested:
the same new users recently hired can use the file with the macro without any issue on another machine
users that could use the file on their machine, can't on the new machine of our new colleague (for the test, they log in with their own credentials)
other macro files can be opened without any problem on the computer of our new colleague
we have fully reinstalled the computer, and still it bugs...
Log message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<recoveryLog xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main"><logFileName>error242560_01.xml</logFileName><summary>Errors were detected in file 'S:\MyDistriplus\DI SAP OPERATIONS\Création articles\Templates Création\TEst (2).xlsm'</summary><removedParts><removedPart>Removed Part: /xl/vbaProject.bin part.

The problem is with the machine (the new computer).
Although you've performed a clean installation (reinstalled), you probably installed the same (probably corrupted) version of Windows and Office.
Try to open OneDrive and change this setting:
Try to install the same version of Windows and Office that's installed on the rest of the computers.
Note: Make sure to include all needed apps, addons, and files to the problematic device.
I had a similar issue, although not the locked by another user dialog. Losing the VBA made no sense to me. It turned out my issue was from duplicating a sheet in VBA that contained an image.
I think I was creating a duplicate ListObject entry for the picture, which would crash excel. My solution was to duplicate the image separately.
If your code is duplicating sheets, try removing any ListObjects and see if the problem persists.
I hope you can help. I have a pretty big Excel file stored on my local drive that is linked to my Sharepoint model.
Because this excel file is so large it has taken up a lot of space so I have placed this file and a second file "World Map" in my Sharepoint.
See Pic 1

The current location of the Excel file is here H:\TOV Storage Folder\EFPIA_TOV All_Master_Master.xlsx
and the current World map is stored here H:\WorldMap\World_Countries.shp
What I would like to do is replace these files with their equivalents in Sharepoint but I keep getting the same error when I try to do so.
See Pic 2
The link that I am placing into the OData Connection is this

But I keep getting the error pop up in Pic 2.
Can anyone help me solve this issue?
I simply wish to replace the files on my H drive feeding my Spotfire model to the ones in Sharepoint.

I do this a lot with Spotfire; Try the OData link:

You will likely need to include authentication details for your active directory.
You can also try following that link in internet explorer/chrome to see the XML (if you get page not found someone has customised something and it wont work).
We have just started using Filr as our file sharing platform, in short we have a seperate excel file for each of our shipments that we export and we have different users accessing these files although editing should never happen concurrently.
I have no formal IT background, I am an accountant and I know the basics. I have over the last year started teaching myself VBA using trial and errors from what I find on platforms like these so I apologise for any ignorance :)
The problem is that it seems Filr allows any excel files to be edited by multiple users, without any warning when opening the file and without the sharing capabilities being activated within excel. This is causing conflicting copies being created and confusion as to which is the correct file. I have tried to address this with the IT department (from our marketing company) managing Filr and am not getting any real assistance to address the problem.
So I decided to explore using VBA to warn or open as read only if a file is already open by another user and I have tried to no avail using similar posts to test if the file is open.
I have gotten to the point that it recognises that the current person opening the file, has the file open, which is pretty obvious. But get no further for it to recognise that another user already has the same file open.
Am I chasing a unicorn? Is this perhaps only controllable by Filr setup / settings? Or does anyone have any magical insight to help?
I hope I have posted my problem appropriately :)
Here is my code, so it detects me as 1 user, but when my colleague opens the file after me it still only detects the user count as 1 (not 2 for both of us):
Sub Workbook_Open()
Users = ActiveWorkbook.UserStatus
If UBound(Users) = 1 Then
MsgBox "File not in use"
Else
MsgBox "File already open"
End If
End Sub
I am totally new to automation, but trying hard to find answers online everywhere for 1 week. I could not able to do what I wanted to do. I have a SAS enterprise guide 4.1 old version and program runs on a SAS server. I have a SAS report due every day at 9:30 AM. I have the code that is already setup and working fine. I need to automate this program to run at 8:00 AM every day, then move the output to a specific excel file in sheet 1 at specific cell range, then invoke the VBA macro button (UPDATE) placed in the sheet 2 and then print out two worksheets in the same file as a single PDF file to somewhere in my computer. I will have to upload this into a CMS. I wanted to automate until the step before the last step, creating the final PDF report on a daily basis.
When I thought about all these I was stunned. I actually created a batch file in notepad and made SAS to open the file at specific time using Task Scheduler in Windows XP control panel. However, SAS did not run the program.
Here is the batch file code:
Start/w C:\PROGRA~1\SAS\ENTERP~1\SEGuide.exe –sysin "Z:\ccccc\vvvvv\Report.egp"
If anyone could please help me, I would like to know how do I make the SAS to run the program in the SAS server and also where do I provide the user name and password for the SAS server authentication. Can anyone please give me an example how to write this code in my batch file. Also, how to export the output into the specific excel file in SHEET 1 and then run the VBA macro. Then how to print out PDF files of two worksheets as a single file and place the final PDF file in the C:\Report folder.
I am sorry it is too much information, but if someone could help me figure out, I would really appreciate all your help!

Enterprise Guide automation is a bigger issue than can be covered in a StackOverflow answer in detail. In general, EG exposes itself to automation through a DLL (SASEGScripting.dll), which you can then automate using VBScript, Powershell, or .NET (C# etc.). You need to read the documentation for the API or read a tutorial.
Chris Hemedinger has several good explanations of how to go about doing this; for example, see this article, or browse his blog articles.
