How can I set up a shared excel worksheet and work offline

[Mark French]

I have a group of laptops on a windows 2003 network. I have set up shared
Excel Workbooks to allow users to modify different worksheets at the same
time. I would now like to take this a step further. I want to allow two or
more uses to take a copy of the shared workbook away from the offce with each
user being able to work on their part and then be able to save them back to
the network with all changes being saved. I was hoping the "make available
offline" feacher would work but it seems that it will not.

Please give any suggestions of workarounds or other software that may allow
this.

Thank you

I'd say that this is a really difficult thing to accomplish successfully.

To find changes between different worksheets/workbooks is a miserable job that
may not be possible without a lot of manual effort.

I won't do this and I would suggest that you don't allow it to be done.
