AMEN!! to that Dave!
I would prefer to have it in Access. I think it would save a lot of time
and head aches. However, the boss is adament about it being in Excel.

Ps. Maybe it's time to go to an application that is made for simultaneous

I want to create a document that multiple people can update at the same time,

same cell). But, I don't want the other users to be concerned with their
co-workers changes, just their own. I want my document to collect all their
changes and be able to accept everybody's changes as well as my own as
needed. I want my copy to be the sole copy responsible for collecting and
saving the approved changes. I want the users' copy to update based off of
my copy when they open theirs. I tried sharing a workbook, but I kept
getting "do you want to save other peoples changes or your own?" What's the
point in sharing a workbook if I can't keep both?

Is what I need possible in Ecel 2003?
