Im using the Benchmark Series Specialist & Expert for Excel 2003. Im
working in Chapter Two (Expert Section) on the next to last Assessment (#7)
Sharing Workbooks.
This exercise calls for simulating two users, but I cant get it done.
The instructions call for opening a file (eec2sc07) and (temporarily) naming
a fictitious user for and sharing the workbook.
I do this via Tools/Options/General entering a fictitious User Name and
clicking OK. Then, Tools/Shared Workbook and checking Allow changes by more
than one user¦¦, clicking OK and clicking OK again to save the workbook.
Next, to simulate a second fictitious user, the instructions tell me to open
a (supposed) separate version of Excel by clicking Start/All
Programs/Microsoft Office/ Microsoft Office Excel 2003. In this copy, I
change the user name to the second fictitious user Tile Windows
Horizontally click on the second user work book to select it and open the
file eec2sc07.
Supposedly the work book is now open in two separate copies of Excel with a
different user in each.
But, thats not the result I get. I see the same user in both windows.
When I change the user name in one window/workbook, the user name in the
other changes as well.
I can only guess that Im not opening two copies of Excel even though the
instructions say that I should be.
Im stuck. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
