1) Reboot your PC.
2) If another user (PC) has opened the file, reboot that one also.

I think it has something to do with Excel file locking, that doesn't always work.

The PC where the file was as already been reboot
I transfert the file on another w/s
And i at still have the same error message

At that point i would like to be able to open the file with any other viewer in order to retreive the data, and so far
i am not able to

Thanks for your help

This has happened to me a number of times . . . . .
I think there is "another" PC involved. When found, and rebooted, it fixed the problem for me.
