Can I pgrogramatically access Track Changes?
 
When a workbook is shared one has the option to view the changes that various
users have made. Is there any way to programatically access those changes

Thanks,

Russ

I have never tried it, but as I recall, the changes are stored in a hidden
sheet named HISTORY. You might see if such a sheet exist and see what it
looks like. That could be accessed programmatically.

Russ,

This code will generate the History sheet that Tom mentioned. When you save
the workbook, it seems Excel automatically deletes the History sheet. But I
guess you can just always re-generate the History Sheet whenever you need it.


Sub ShowHistory
ActiveWorkbook.ListChangesOnNewSheet = True
End Sub

Hope that helps.
