In Excel, How can I produce a carbon copy when saving?
I have a workbook that upon saving, i wish for it to produce a carbon copy on
a shared drive for public viewing, but keep the original secure. And each time I update the original, the version on the shared drive will be overwritten. I'm not sure of the best method to go about this, if it is possible, or if a macro can be made. I am pretty good in excel, but have little experience in creating macros. Help! (i'm using Microsoft Office 2000) |

There may be a better / different way than this one, but here's what I've
done in the past: original save as new book ( for others ) ( this will have the same format already in there) in cell A1 of that new book : =IF([Book1]Sheet1!A1<"",[Book1]Sheet1!A1,"") autofill into ALL cells where necessary, and maybe some extra. this will create a link to the original and update as you change it.
