Sandy,

Don't do it! Shared workbooks are functionally crippled, and the sharing is
not robust. I have worked on shared workbooks that frequently crash, people
can get into as it says they are already using it, etc., etc.,

You would be far better getting the separate sections into separate
workbooks and use procedures to control it, then summarise in another
workbook, or use Access.

Hello -

This is sort of a repost. I have never tried shared workbooks, but found
out it can be done. Some people from this group hadn't tried it, but did
not
recommend it.

I need to find someone who has tried this and get an opinion on the
feasibility of it. I have 30 users; they may occasionally run into each
other, but for the most part, they'll be working on different rows at
sporadic times. They will be using the same interface.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Any reading material suggestions
will
also be appreciated. I searched the Internet and came up with virtually
zip
. . .
