When Sharing settings dont appear the same for all users
Users have told me that "Windows" Freeze Panes and hidden rows and columns
are not appearing the same by all users when they launch the file. I can't figure out why, but it appears that Execl may be remebering prior settings even though I have taken off share and resend I have played with the "Include in Personal View Setting" but that does not appear to fix it. Is there a way through VBA to Purge completely the Share history including any interface settings? Also any links to expanded documentation on using Share would be welcome. Thanks |

The page setup settings in a shared workbook are different for each user in Excel Article ID : 302911 Last Review : April 2, 2004 Revision : 1.0 This article was previously published under Q302911 On this page SYMPTOMS CAUSE RESOLUTION SYMPTOMS In Microsoft Excel, when you save a shared workbook with page setup settings defined, and then another user opens the workbook, the second user may not see the page setup settings that you created. CAUSE This problem occurs because, by default, the print settings are saved in a custom view that is created for each person who uses the shared workbook. The page setup settings, such as the header, the footer, and the page breaks, are included in those print settings. RESOLUTION To resolve this problem, follow these steps: 1. Open the shared workbook in Excel. 2. On the Tools menu, click Share Workbook. 3. In the Share Workbook dialog box, click to clear the Allow changes by more than one user at the same time check box, and then click OK. 4. On the View menu, click Custom Views. 5. In the Views dialog box, select each custom view, and then click Delete to remove it. 6. After you delete all the views, click OK. 7. Save the workbook. 8. On the File menu, select Page Setup. Use the Page Setup dialog box to create the print settings that you want all the users to see, and then click OK when you are finished. 9. On the Tools menu, click Share Workbook. 10. On the Editing tab, click to select the Allow changes by more than one user at the same time check box. 11. On the Advanced tab, click to clear the Print settings check box in personal views. 12. Click OK. "Nodak" wrote: Users have told me that "Windows" Freeze Panes and hidden rows and columns are not appearing the same by all users when they launch the file.
