Losing data on a shared workbook
I have a shared workbook that is being utilized by mupltiple users. It
appears that the data is not being saved across the board, all the time. I have tried different things, setting automatic save and telling them to save every five minutes, etc..... I am running XP with SP2. More than enough memory. It is on a network share. Any thoughts as to why this is happening. |

Losing data on a shared workbook
Make sure there is a safety interlock that allows only one of the shared
users to have write access to the file at one time. Otherwise one user can overwrite another user's work. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200742 "Martin" wrote: I have a shared workbook that is being utilized by mupltiple users.

Losing data on a shared workbook
Have a user open the file.
Have a second also open the file while the first user still has it opened. The second user should only be able to open it READ-ONLY -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200742 "Martin" wrote: Where can I find if this is turned on?
