excel prob - cant save worksheet if someone has it open in a veiwe
 

Client has a prob where they have some staff using 2003 excel viewer and if
they
have a workbook open in veiwer, then the accounts staff can't save their
changes in the same workbook in their Excel 2002 program without having to go
around to find and close the offending veiwer/s. Any way around this? is
this
a known MS prob? It seems that the veiwer tags it read only or something.
Have tried with making it a shered workbook but that doesn't seem to work
with the veiwers.
Thanks for any info

I quick test with the Excel 2003 Viewer shows it able to open Shared
workbooks as Read-Only and whilst open in the Viewer, changes can be made
and saved in Excel.

Maybe something else is the cause.
