Tom,

Where are you finding this help? I couldn't find it in Excel Help.

If I can find it, I will try to figure it out myself.

From the Help on MultiUserEditing

To save a workbook as a shared list, use the SaveAs method. To switch
the
workbook from shared mode to exclusive mode, use the ExclusiveAccess
method.

------------------
so there is an option in SaveAs to make the workbook shared.

I set up a procedure to export data from an Access database to an
Excel
template with several tabs. Everything works ok until I try to save
the
Excel workbook as a shared document. Is it even possible to save an
Excel
workbook as a shared document using vba code from Access ? If so, how
do
I
do this and how would I unshare the workbook before I attempt to
import
the
updated spreadsheets back into the database?

I have been looking at both the Excel and Access Discussion groups and
cannot find what I am looking for - only a post that references
ActiveWorkbook.ExclusiveAccess
and ? thisworkbook.MultiUserEditing. There is no other explanation
and I
don't know how to implement this.

I would greatly appreciate any help on this.
