Shared Workbook - Recommendations

[elstuart]

Hi,

I have created I shared workbook, and there seems to be several issues. Can't cave at the same time? Can't open at the same time? I have been searching posts all over and most don't have anwers.

Do you think there is fundemental flaws? I have already recommended users do not hit the file at once.

thanks

Liz

Hi Liz, my recommendation with shared workbooks is -- don't! They are prone to all sorts of data issues and you will find that some features are disabled in shared workbooks as well.

Here are just 2 links to help with your decision. One is Microsoft, one is not.
