Edit Document error - Excel cannot upload or merge changes

Question

Hello,

When Trying to edit an Office document embedded in a page, Excel reports,

"Upload Failed - Your file wasn't uploaded because your changes can't be merged with changes made by someone else"

and therefore changes cannot be made to the document without deleting and re-uploading the file.

Any advice?
Thanks
Jeff

As an update - word works, but not excel. As soon as the excel file is opened with the "Edit Document" link, Excel thinks someone (on the server) has changed the file, and therefore cannot update to the server.
