Sharing violation

[Tom]

We have several Excel spreadsheets that are shared between six workstations.
This week alone, we have been kicked out of one specific spreadsheet 5 or 6
times and have to "save as..." and rename the workbook. The error message
that we are receiving indicates that we have committed a "sharing violation".
Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, is there a solution? Out IT
guy says that we shouldn't share. If so...why does Excel have a sharing
option?

Re: Sharing violation

This isn't a 64-bit question, it's really an Excel issue. I'd suggest you
ask over on one of the Office or Excel newsgroups.

FWIW, there are multiple causes for sharing violations, but the fact remains
that Excel is not a multiuser application.
