Macro shared work book
 

Can You make a macro work in a shared work book.
The macro maybe run once every couple of weeks only when one person is in
the work . Is this possible?? When I try to run a macro it tells me run error
and says can not do in shared work book. Any suggestions?? I know that
sharing work books can have it's draw backs but there is a great need to do
so and the odds of more than one person being in it at the same time is low
but can happen.

Macros can work in shared workbooks.

The real problem is that not everything the macro does can be done in a shared
workbook. So you may want to post the line(s) that fail. Maybe there's a
workaround.

when changing the work book to shared the the message box that first comes up
is ! this workbook cotains macros recored or written in visual basic. Macros
cannot be viewed or edited in shared workbooks. When trying to run the macro
it comes up with a message box run time error code 1004 . Macro can not run
in shared work book . I have checked the security settings . They are at low
and trusted all ad ons and macros. The macros have been created before the
work book was shared so that was eliminated from the problem . Any ideas ?? I
have given full control to all of the users also .
