I have an asp program which links to a Excel Spreadsheet
It all works fine except when the excel spreadsheet is open by another user.

Is there anyway of checking to see if excel file is open when the ASP code begins to run

There is no system level check you can do, but you can write some code to check if the excel file is in use. See here
