TS Excel problems

April 25, 2008

Hi. I am running SBS2003 Premium as my domain controller. I have an

application server running Server 2003. This server is just running QB

Enterprise and holds the Excel files that 5 remote stores log into and

modify every day.

The Excel files reside on the server. THe users log in using "Connect to

Small Business Server". They then just open their folder that is located on

their desktop. This folder is just a shortcut to their folder on the server.

They usually can just double click on the file ( daily sales, etc.) that

they need to update. Lately the need to open Excel and then browse to the

file to open it.

If you try to use the shortcut, Excel opens but a blank workbook shows

saying ready. I had fixed this by going into Options, Settings, General, and

unchecking "ignore other applications". I also had to resolve a speed issue

from one of the sites. Everything worked good for a couple of weeks. Now I

got a call saying that it is happening again.

Any help? Thanks in advance.

Aaron
