That's why I said it was a training issue to start.

I still don't know how anyone else can make the a reasonable decision to save
changes or discard changes.

If your boss locked up the workbook and you saved (and destroyed the workbook)
that he had no intention of saving--or you discarded 2 hours of his work, would
you be in trouble?

Why not show the same deference to other employees--no matter how inconsiderate
they may be?

Dave, I understand your concerns, but if the workbook is not shared, and
some user has it opened and decides to take an extra long lunch, or even a
vacation, then everyone else who requires access to the workbook is impacted.
It is unacceptable one inconsiderate user to impact a whole organization.
