Excell opens with an open file ?

A friend has a problem. When he wants to open a file in Excel he finds the
file already open with a message which says the file cannot be opened as it
is already open.
I have tried to simulate this condition on my own PC but failed to do so.
Can anyone explain what is happening and how to stop it?
