Excel is crashing after saving in network drive (SMB) - Ventura

Hello,

I have BIG problem after updating to macOS Ventura. When I try to save changes to an excel file located in a network location (SMB) I get the message - " The document was saved successfully, but Excel cannot re-open it because of a sharing violation. Please Close the document and try to open it again". When I try to re-open a get a message "This file is locked for editing".

Before an update everything was fine. The problem occurs on two devices.

Hi there,

You might have better luck asking this question over in Apple Support Communities run by Apple Support.

Hi I just wanted to confirm I run into the same issue. When working from home I connect to company drives via VPN and work with excel files. Pre update to macOS Ventura last night I could easily work with an excel file and save it in a matter of 2-3 seconds. Now I get a spinning beach ball and at times I get the same text you mention above. Only able to recover the file by connecting to it from a PC and opening a previous version of it. I tried to connect from my wife's MacBook which still runs macOS Monterey and there are no issues.

Upsetting as Ventura offers nothing to my workflow. Considering downgrading.

Last year when I updated to Monterey, the search in Outlook was completely broken for months.
