Limit similtaneous users of workbook
As far a I know there is no way to do that without using VBA, and even with
that if the user decides to open with macro's disabled it will open anyway. But if a second user opens it while it's already open they should get the message telling them that 'This file is being edited by....'etc. Only the first user to open it can save any changes they made so it shouldn't really be a problem.
