Sharing workbooks
I have a workbook, that several people access simultaneously on a network.
When they try to save it other people lose their work as it only takes on the lastest changes, is there anyway to say all changes by all users at once? |

One of the experts might have a better response but as far as I know you
can't get around this as each person loads a version on their computer and when they save back that will become the new version. The working simultaneously part is the problem, when i have several users that use the same sheet I set it so that only the 1st user that opens the file can make changes, all other people will get only read only access until that 1st person is finished. This works well except that you must make sure that the users save and get out of the spreadsheet as soon as they are done. (As in no leaving the sheet open for a couple hours as they go to lunch.)

Thanks Tim, i have treid to get people to work like this with no luck! I
think what they need is a database not excel!
