Simultaneous access by multiple users to a file
Several users need to access a WORD,EXCEL etc file simultaneously. Currently
can only open and access the file one at a time. Without using shared workspace can a document be accessed, modified and updated with access as required? Briefcase was perfect in previous Windows '98. Now not available in XP Home or Corporate license version. "He (Bill Gates) gives and then takes away!" |

Simultaneous access by multiple users to a file
Word documents and Excel files are single-user only. If you need multi-user
access, then a document or spreadsheet is the wrong solution. The Briefcase didn't provide multi-user access either. "Himderfella" wrote in message ...

I'm fairly sure that the next layer of Management above me is unaware that Briefcase is still available. "Right click on desktop and create New Briefcase" went with corporate version of '98. This really does solve a problem we have when users need to access the same file at the same time. No user lock out. Just input sdata, save and update. Brilliant! Thanks again. Cheers Himderfella (Chris) |

Hi Chris,
The 'right click on desktop' and select 'New' and the briefcase option still appears as a default as well *unless* one of your company IT admins has disabled/removed that feature. Bob Buckland ?:-) ========== "Himderfella" wrote in message news
