Best method of having a Shared Excel file.

[JoeF1]

Hi guys,

Really need your help here. We have about 50 people accessing one excel spreadsheet. All on different versions of excel and in split up locations. This corrupts a lot and we have to go in and fix it. I am trying to think of other ways of having this shared to stop the corruption etc. We are slowly rolling out share point. Am i right in thinking we can have the file on sharepoint so they can open it up edit then re-save? I am testing this but there is no way of editing the file without downloading the excel file then re-uploading into share point which won't work.

Any other tips on this would be great. Company just won't spend any more money on different software.

Thanks.

IIRC from using sharepoint in my previous place you check it out so no one else can edit it then save and check it back in when you're done, I think it still needs at least a temporary file to be downloaded though.

What about something like Google docs?

Yeah, don't think sharepoint will be the solution here. I have never even thought of google docs. Naive question but i am assuming everyone using google docs would need a log in?
