synchronization of files
Hello. Two questions:
1) So if multiple people are editing the same file - how does that get resolved? What if they were editing the same line - who's changes take precidence? 2) Do we end up saving our document (word for example) in a 'groove' folder on our hard drive? on our network? is the document stored in your file repository? Thanks. |

synchronization of files
I had an Excel file that several departments whanted to share. I asked the
Excel MVPs about that and they told me to avoid it at all costs. Unfortunately these departments insisted. It 's a nightmare just waiting to happen. I no longer work with that file so I can't tell you if it's still working properly. Just the other week we had another instance of various depts wanting to share a spreadsheet. I talked them out of that one. Why is it necessary for multiple people to access the file at the same time? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "JJL" wrote in message ...

in access, the database could
be edited. however, others could only view the database while it was being edited. basically access allowed one instance of editing and it locked the database as read only for every one else. might want to search for collaboration or locking users -- -- db·´¯`·...¸)))º DatabaseBen, Retired Professional ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This NNTP newsgroup is evolving to: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx "JJL" wrote in message ...
