Is it possible for more than 1 person to work on the same worksheet at the same time?

RE: multi user

Hi David,

Thank you for your question.

If you go to Tools and then Share Workbook. Click the checkbox that allows changes by more than one person. Then confirm the save dialogue box. The word Shared should appear in square brackets next to the filename.

Make sure the file is on a shared network that everyone has permissions to access.

Now more than one person can open it up at the same time.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Change the default location for opening and saving spreadsheets

If you are always opening spreadsheets from and/or saving documents to a specific location that is not My Documents, save time by setting this folder as the default for opening files from and saving files to.

Here's how:
1. Go to Tools - Options.

2. Select the General tab.

3. Enter the pathname of the folder you wish to make the default in the Default File Location box (hint: it will be easier to use Windows Explorer to navigate to this folder, then copy and paste the pathname from the address bar at the top of the Windows Explorer screen).

4. Click OK.

You have now changed the default folder for opening and saving spreadsheets.
