Niknik's Question - 04 Mar 2004 23:53 GMT

How many users can be in one shared spreadsheet at one
time without it corrupting or slowing down? I'm trying to
pilot a project where 100-130 users max will be in the
spreadsheet. Not all users will be in it at one time.
Please let me know. Are there any other programs that you
can suggest that can handle this capacity? Thanks!

I would suggest using MS Access. Split it into a frontend
and backend and then mulitiple use will not be a problem...

No, MS Access is not a good recommendation for a 100+ user app. I'm
reliably informed that more than 10 concurrent users can cause
problems. See this discussion (and many more like it):
