My file is locked in Excel 2007, what's going on?

I have a excel 2007 spreadsheet that I'm sharing with some of my coworkers while we work on a project. Recently, when I try to save the file, I get this error: "This file is locked. Try the command again later." I figured this was happening because one of my coworkers was doing something weird so I was being locked out. So I copied the file and opened the copy, tried to save it again and got the same error!

Someone else is saving or loading the file. Microsoft has a knowledge base article about this.

Take a look at Unlocker, it should show you what else is using the file.
