Can't write/access excel files with multiple tabs -and crew macro doesn't work

[ck2024]

I have the Crew macros in place and up until recently if I used the parellel block until done I was able to write to an Excel tab, and then it would go on to the next anchor to allow it to write to another tab in the same file.  However, nowadays I am getting the error 

 Output Data (215) Unable to open file for write: ... The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file. (33)

 The only solution I can use is to use the Crew Macro wait a second, but the issue here is that instead of waiting a second it takes like ten minutes to run a process that runs in seconds if i write each tab individually by connecting and deleting each anchor in turn.  

I can't use the block until done because the tabs are feeding off one join tool - or at least i think that's the case unless someone has a solution!

I can't share the workflow as it is sensitve data

Thanks
