Sharing a workbook problem - HELP!

[skc]

We are using a shared Excel 2000 Workbook in our Network.
There are around 5 users who are constantly opening up the
shared workbook and entering/saving items into the
tabs/sheets we have setup.

When we close all the workbooks on the 5 user's PCs, then
the workbook can be opened fine on 1 PC. Another PC can
then open up the workbook OK, but when a third user tries
to open up the workbook we get an error message to say
that Excel.exe has encountered errors and will be closed
by Windows.

When we looked at the shares status, we could see that one
user had around 5 open sessions that were around 1 minute
apart from each other. We killed these shared sessions,
but we are still getting the same problem.

Please can someone advise us. We are running Office 2000
Pro on Windows 2000 Pro clients.

Thanks,

skc

We have almost the exact same problem, but only one user
is affected. Will let you know what I learn! -GG

We, also, are sharing an Excel2000 file among 2 or 3
users. The file is stored on a Windows2000Server machine,
and all the users have Windows2000 Professional with
Office 2000 Pro. One user can no longer open the file.
She gets the message "Excel.exe has generated errors and
will be closed by Windows; an error log is being
generated." .... We do not have a solution yet, but it
appears to be related to one username on a particular
machine. The same user can log in elsewhere and work with
the file OK. Also, other users can use the troubled
machine with their own usernames just fine.... I expect
there is some little error in the Registry. Where, O
Where? //GG
