How many users can sucessfully use a shared excel workbook?
8 Users are sharing a workbook with multiple sheets over a 100MB Network with
HUB. While Saving, users receive the message that they can no longer access the workbook as it is unavailable. It is not all the users all the time, but some of the users some of the time - no particlular user experiences the same thing on an on-going basis. No users are stopping the sharing of the workbook. Microsoft help states that "several" users can share a workbook. How many is "several"? and is what is happening indicitive of too many users? |

I don't know what other people think, but I'd never trust 8 people with one excel workbook... no matter what M$ say... sounds like a recipe for disaster... I'm sure you have your reasons but I'd try a workaround like using a database with built-in file locking. Maybe you're already using ADOs or something, I don't know. -- gearoi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gearoi's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26576 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=401898 |
