Issues with Shared Excel and Word files on Novell servers
September 05, 2005
Windows

I've been using a shared Novell drive to collaborate with a team. We use Excel and Word files, and I've attempted to make them "shareable". Quite often the file will work for a while, then "lose" its shareable attribute.

To make an excel file shareable on a Novell server, you have to do two things.

Open the file, select "Tools: Shared Workbook". Check "Allow changes by more than one user at the same time."

In Windows Explorer, right-click the Excel file, select Properties, then click on the NetWare Info tab.

Rightclick

Check "Shareable"

Clickshareable

I've found that Novell loses this shareable attribute randomly, and it must be reapplied.
