    When multiple users open document, why no Read Only message?

    I have an excel 2007 file sitting in a shared network folder. I only want one user to be able to make changes at a time (any other users would get a read-only). For some reason it currently does not do this, and I have multiple users with the same doc open. I'm concerned that changes will get over-written when 2 people are saving their changes. Can anyone help me with the settings for this.

    Try Alt+t, b (xl03 shortcuts work in xl07)

    Untick "Allow changes..."
