Default Anyone ever try shared workbooks?

I have never use them, so if Jim and/or Bob have actually had that type of
experience, then listen to them.

One thing for sure, in help you should look for shared workbooks and
limitations - go through the list and see if what you want to do is not
supported from Start. As Bob has said, the limitations are extensive.

Hi Tom -

Funny you should mention it, I just got done searching under "shared
workbooks" and I did come across a few scenarios which were frightening --
such as all the info in the workbook disappearing! I don't know if that's
due to no protections and a user deleting, etc. I did not come across
anything where they had a user form.

If you note Bob's reply above, he definitely warns against doing it.

Here is a thought.

Seach this newgroup in Google Groups for the term Shared or shared
workbook.

Assess some of the posts for people who appear to be doing this at a

level
of interest to you.

Contact them via email and ask ( if they have used their address).

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
. . .
