Excel 2013 is stalling (and not opening) when trying to open a file that is in use by another user. In office 2010 it would prompt the user to open in read-only mode, but in 2013 it seems to just stall and never open. It just stays on the splash screen for ever. We have done some testing and it appears that double clicking on an excel file causes this to occur, but will function correctly if the file is opened through excel's file browser. Any suggestions on how to fix this? It's a pain to make all the users open excel first, then browse through a lengthy network location. Thanks in advance!
For information purposes: these are files on a network location shared by many users.
