Hi all,
I have a shared workbook. Some people can add to it with no problems.
However, some people are trying to but getting a message of read-only.
Is this possible because of their version of XL? I am checking what
versions they have today.
Thanks for the help.

There is a setting somewhere and it might be a default that if one user has
the sheet open anyone else trying to access that sheet will get the read only
message. There in effect can only be one version of the sheet that many
people access, if they allowed multiple users to access the same sheet at the
same time you could very well have data conflicts. First thing to try is
make sure that when a person is done working on the sheet that they save and
exit right away so that the next person can gain access. (Problems like this
arise when people open a shared sheet then leave if open without actively
making changes to it.)
