Regular Workbooks vs. Binary Workbooks
Can you tell me the difference between a regular Excel workbook and a binary
workbook? We use a shared workbook as a tracking system for our department, and we often have conflicts, crashes, or other miscellaneous catastrophes. My manager asked me to find out whether saving it as a binary workbook might reduce the number of problems that we experience. Thank you for your help. |

Regular Workbooks vs. Binary Workbooks
Welcome to shared workbooks. Conflicts, crashes, or other miscellaneous
catastrophes are just part of the territory in my experience. To the best of my knowledge there is no way around the problems... I personally never use them any more. -- HTH...

Regular Workbooks vs. Binary Workbooks
If you want everybody in the department to be able to tell the status of
every job at any time, what alternatives to shared workbooks do you propose? We have about 20 people in the department and anywhere from 100 to 150 jobs in process at any given time. Is a shared binary workbook any more stable than a regular shared workbook? Would one format crash less often than the other? Is there a significant difference in either size or speed, and if so, in which direction? Thanks. "Jim Thomlinson" wrote: Welcome to shared workbooks.
