Number of users

[pompey_student]

Can anybody tell me the number of users that can use Excel at any one
point. I am fairly sure that a number of users can use it at once, but
will they have to look at the spreadsheet in a 'read only' state with
only one user having the full functions of the spreadsheet.

So basically, is it true that a number of users can use it, but the
spreadsheet is in a read only format?

any help will be most appreciated.

M ark,

You can make the workbook shareable, Tools>Share Workbook..., which enables
many people to work on it (sorry not sure if and what the limit may be). It
has disadvantages, big disadvantages IMO, but it is possible.

I've yet to hear any good reports about sharing workbooks in Excel.
