Excel workbook to be used by multiple users at same time....possible???
I have to make a workbook that keeps track of inventory of samples under certain study numbers which are delt with in one department and then another and so on and so forth. My question is, since this workbook will be used by multiple users most likely at the same time....will excel allow this to happen?? Or will it give an error message "Cannot read file, it is being used by another program" or whatever?? -- malik641 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ malik641's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=24190 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=381938 |

Hi Malik, You can't have full access for multiple users in Excel. However, you can using an Access database, except that you can't edit the same record together, which doesn't happen that much. Much of what Excel does Access can do - its very versatile.
