one user - multiple viewers - displayed on shop floor

[kkoser]

Hi all.

Does anybody have a good suggestion to resolve this issue within excel?

We have 1 user for the file. (dispatcher) Information includes Dock Departure Times.

However, Throughout the building are monitors linked into the network where the file resides.

Is there a way to update this main file to display current data periodically? Say every 5 minutes?

I understand that excel doesn't really work like that and we should consider a different alternative. However, I have been reading about workarounds with Save/Close/Re-Open options and thought that maybe for the short term, I can try one of those. Any help in direction would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

If the displays only need to show information then look at extending the monitors from the machine. four is easy, an AV company could advise on how to extend to more
