| 630242 | 2008-01-14 21:49:00 | We operate a seniors computing group and three of us (on separate sites) keep track of student placements etc via an Excel spreadsheet. How can we “store” this worksheet at a central site so that we all have the current one?! Don’t mean track changes either. Yeah know we could put it somewhere like Yahoo Briefcase – is there an easier and quicker way – like giving the other 2 access somehow to a folder on my computer? Many thanks |

| 630245 | 2008-01-14 22:56:00 | Have you considered using an online spreadsheet? | linw (53) | ||
| 630246 | 2008-01-14 23:09:00 | Thanks - we have been sending it - but what is crossloop? This (www.crossloop.com) Similar to remote desktop, but easier to use. But one person has to give the other a code, so they can login. |

| 630248 | 2008-01-15 04:34:00 | Hi guys, Suspect you got it right first time - Yahoo Briefcase (or similar) is the easier and quicker way! You've all got the right tools, just needs a shared username and password. Think of Briefcase as your file-server - anything else will be more hassle for less functionality. Regards, Martnz |

| 630250 | 2008-01-16 06:05:00 | I'd like to do a similar thing... but how can you stop people over-writing what you've written in a certain cell? | KerryDP (13174) | ||
