Default Linking two workbooks

Hi,

You have to set the sharing rights and Protect the sheet.

To protect the worksheet, do the following:

On the Tools menu, point to Protection and then click Protect sheet. In the
Protect Sheet, assign the entitlement and protect the sheet with a password.

Hi,

The problem is the two different workbooks will be accessed by two different
persons from different locations (linking two workbooks can be done thru a
common server). Now who ever enters the data in their respective workbook
should get copied to the other workbook.

Is this possible to do?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

The procedure would still remain the same -Copy and Paste Special.

The reason being that, you must decide which portion of the content you want
to do Paste Special to the respective document.

Note; However, you may not be able to delete any files as you normally do,
because each Excel file has reference to other files. You have to delete in a
top down approach.

Hi Prabhu,

Now I have a different case where the two workbooks should be linked in such
a way that what ever data I enter in either of the workbooks should appear in
the other. Both the workbooks should be editable.

Thanks in advance
