Accessing files through Excel by multiple users
Hi,
I have slide setup with some Excel files stored on it.
If I have the file opened on one computer and would like to open it on another computer then it gives me the message if I want to open it as Read-Only. But I would like to open it as Read-Write on several computers. I think it has to do something with the "lock" of SLIDE.
Is there anyway to have the file opened on several computers and be able to modify it and save it from any of the multiple computers?
Currently I would have to close it on the other computers and re-open it 'cause it was Read-Only.
Is this possible?
Do I have to modify anything on the Domain.xml?
Thanks,
Zeus Courtois

Hi,
For an XLS or DOC file, webdav response to a PROPFIND contains
<D:supportedlock>
<D:lockentry>
<D:lockscope>
<D:exclusive />
Maybe you must find something dealing with file types...

Zeus anything is possible, but to check it in you would need the token, but
my question would be why? The whole idea is that multiple copies can be
opened but only one read-write so you don't overwrite someone else's changes
inadvertently.
If you want to co-edit, then use a P2P Tool like Groove that update's
everyone's copy with the changes and you can use meeting tools and other
things to do it.
