Sharing violation

September 12, 2008

We have several Excel spreadsheets that are shared between six workstations.

This week alone, we have been kicked out of one specific spreadsheet 5 or 6

times and have to "save as..." and rename the workbook. The error message

that we are receiving indicates that we have committed a "sharing violation".

Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, is there a solution? Out IT

guy says that we shouldn't share. If so...why does Excel have a sharing

option?

Re: Sharing violation

This isn't a 64-bit question, it's really an Excel issue. I'd suggest you

ask over on one of the Office or Excel newsgroups.

FWIW, there are multiple causes for sharing violations, but the fact remains

that Excel is not a multiuser application.
