Multi-use with excel 97 possible??

Kuwerti

Hello all,

I have an excel 97 worksheet. It must be possible that several people
can work at the same time in this sheet. Is this possible?? Or do I
need something else to arrange this?

Thanks and Regards,
Anneke

You can share the workbook (tools|share) (well, if it's stored in a central
location that all can get to).

But there's lots of things that can't be done with shared workbooks. See
Excel's help for details.

Personally, I try to just let one user work on the workbook at a time.

There are other applications that may be better--maybe a real database program
(Access???).

You can probably share it in Read Only mode. You can't have multiple people
writing into it at the same time though and expect to not lose data. The idea
of letting multiple people R/W something at the same time is a database concept,
not one built into a spreadsheet.
