Hi everyone,

I have a shared worbook which is currently stored on a shared drive.
My problem is that now I need to share this workbook with employees who
don't have access to this shared drive (They are based in another city).
However they can access the Company's Intranet (http protocol).
What I plan to do is upload my Shared workbook to the Intranet and have the
same functionality I have when the file seats on a shared drive.
People would be able to open it from its location without downloading the
file.
The folder containing the file would be directly exposed.

If somebody could tell me what are the challenges and reuirements , I would
really appreciate.

Thanks


Paul.

Will they be editing the file? In that case I'm thinking about 2 words
now: WebDav and SharePoint.
Haven't used either, sorry.

If it has an "X" in the name, it must be Linux?

Only ask questions with yes/no answers if you want "yes" or "no" as the

Amedee,

Thanks a lot for your reply,

The answer is yes they will be editing certain non-protected fields on the
file.

If you know where I could find detailed information about this it would be
great

Thanks again

Paul
