Thread: Kill Shared Workspace task pane

My users have to go to Sharepoint to open my workbook. When they do, Excel displays the Shared Workspace task pane. I don't want the Shared Workspace task pane to open when my users open my workbook. I've searched online, but haven't had much luck. I found this by Microsoft:

" By default, the Shared Workspace task pane opens when you open a document that is in a document library or when you open a document that is sent as a shared attachment. To prevent the Shared Workspace task pane from opening automatically, click Service Options on the General tab of the Options dialog box (Tools menu), and then in the Shared Workspace category, clear the "The document is part of a workspace or SharePoint site" check box."

Well, the problem is that it IS part of a SharePoint site. So how do I about either
1) not showing it
or
2) Killing it immediately?

Any help is highly appreciated.

bumping 'cause I'm still in need of help on this one.

Am I the only one with this problem?

Still wanting help on this one.

Okay, I give up. I'll ask that this one be closed.
