multiple users in 2007 Excel document at one time
 
We have an Excel doc. on our server that we all use. Is there a way we can
have multiple users in it at one time making changes? Currently if someone
else is already in the document, I get a read only message.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Look up "Shared Workbook" in Excel Help, specifically click the
"Use a shared workbook to collaborate" link

You should understand that most people who have tried sharing workbooks of
any importance now run screaming from anyone who suggests it. A certain
percentage of Excel features are unavailable in shared workbooks, and these
workbooks are prone to corruption and data loss.

True on all points, perhaps I should add that to my replies?
