Hi,

That is to be expected. Only way around this, that I know of, is to not
share the file.

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Cheers,

When I allow a workbook to be shared it seems to take much longer to open
and
save. Is this to be expected? I have the file on a network directory
containing five sheets with a modest amount of information in each sheet.
When I unshare the workbook it opens in flash, but when shared it takes 30
seconds or more. Any suggestions?
