Is it possible to have more that one person editing an Excel database at
the
same time? The database is on a shared network location, so that more than
one person can access it already, but when some one is doing some thing on
it, if you try to open the database up it states that it is only possible
to
"read only" ideally I would like the database to accept mutiple users.
Any assistance that anyone offers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
