    Shared Workbooks

    Hey guys, quick question.

    I'm trying to set up a workbook to be shared and edited by multiple users at the same time. I have it set up as shared, and is in my job's shared network. However, when I have it opened and ask someone to open the same file, it comes up as 'read only'.

    Am I missing anything? I'm pretty sure that this is a shared network and not a Web server.

    Thanks!

    When you click on "Share Workbook" is "Allow changes by more than one user at the same time. This also allows workbook merging." checked?

    Hi ChemistB,

    Yes, that part is checked and the file name changes to [Shared]
