update an opened doc ))

Hi all
here is my situation: there's a file on our LAN that can be read by
everybody and update only by 2 persons.
The problem is that no update can be done under the same file name as long
as somebody has it opened.
Is there a way to make it work ?
TIA
Matis

Hi Matis,

The Solution to your issue is SHARED WORKSPACE.
A shared workspace is an area, hosted by a Web server,
where colleagues can share documents and information, maintain lists of
pertinent data, and keep each other up to date on the status of a given
project. Shared workspaces are Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services sites
that you can open in a Web browser or in the Shared Workspace task pane in
a Microsoft Office program.

Features of a shared workspace:
-------------
A shared workspace provides the following features:

Document library In the document library, you can store documents that
all members of the shared workspace can access. The Shared Workspace task
pane displays the library in which the currently open document is stored.
Tasks list In the Tasks list, you can assign to-do items with due dates
to members of the shared workspace. If another member has assigned a task
to you, you can check it off in the Tasks list. When other team members
open the Tasks list in the Shared Workspace task pane, they can see that
you have completed the task.
Links list In the Links list, you can add hyperlinks to resources or
information of interest to members of the shared workspace.
Members list The Members list displays user names of the members of the
shared workspace. In the Shared Workspace task pane, contact information —
such as free or busy status, telephone number, and e-mail address — and
other properties are included, so that members can easily keep in touch
with each other.
E-mail alerts You can use e-mail alerts to receive notification of
changes to a list, a particular item (such as the status of a task), or a
document in the shared workspace.
Note If you use instant messaging, you can also see the online status of
shared workspace members.
