Time Out feature for shared access file
I have users who share the use of a single Excel file. When it is use they
get a message about the file being locked, or read only, etc. Is there a way to setup a timeout feature, so that if the user who has the document open forgets to close it, or leaves it open indefintely, that it can release that session and force them out? |

Time Out feature for shared access file
Clicking on TOOLS/SHARE WORKBOOK might alleviate the problem of lock down.
On the advance tab you can set some autosave and conflict resolution settings, as well as history setting for the workbook. -- Kevin Backmann "booker@mgt" wrote: I have users who share the use of a single Excel file.
