Hi,

i've just started a new job today and i introduced shared workbooks to the office but I have a problem which has caused me to have some egg on my face.. :)S)

I have a shared workbook on a network and when there is a conflict, Excel doesn't ask my permission.

The shared workbook settings are:

-keep change history for 30 days
-updates changes when file is saved
-ask me when changes win

when there is a conflict (when someone deletes the contents of a cell and repopulates it) and we both save it just comes up with:

"workbook has been updated" instead of asking me, (the person who set up the workbook as a shared workbook).

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue please?

Many thanks,


Paddy
