FW: MOSS 2007 - Multiple users accessing an excel file

Posted by: "Carl Cross" carl.cross@bluecross.org.uk   carl851611

I have some Excel 2003 files in a document library.

I would like to find out how I can set it up so multiple users can all
access the file at the same time.

At present we have staff checking in and checking out the file, but I
would prefer multiple access to the same file

Is this possible with Excel 2003 file and a SP MOSS 2007 site?

Thanks

I am also looking at PM software

I also discounted Bamboo due to support issues

Our shortlist is Brightworks and EPM live.

If the Excel spreadsheets are simply used

* Used to store and view information as rows in a spreadsheet

* Do not use macros etc...

Consider "migrating" and replacing each spreadsheet with a SharePoint list

* will let you store and view information as items in the list

* will allow multiple people to edit different items - at the same time

* you can create list views to meet specific needs

* as a one-off migration step you can import the existing spreadsheet into the list

Spotty config db connection

Posted by: "Sloop, Kurt" kurt.sloop@iem.com   sloopk

Has anyone dealt with random loss of connection between your SharePoint
front-end and the configuration database?

We have had this take our site down twice in the past couple months.
When I use the SharePoint Configuration Wizard to reconnect it works
some times and doesn't other times. Basically, I have to attempt the
reconnect until it works.

I'm wondering if this might be a hardware or firewall issue, but the
sporadic nature of it has me stumped.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
