Hi,

can I track changes just using Excel and email? It seems that all
scenarios I found in Help are oriented towards shared folders on LAN or
Exchange. Can I just switch on Tracking Changes and send XLS file as
attachment to others. I did that, but when the modified spreadsheet
returned there were no changes at all. How is it supposed to work?

Thanks in advance,

Matej
Hi,

Normally you should be able to email and retain tracked changes,
however, tracked changes require the workbook to be Shared and certain
other functions cannot be used on a shared workbook.

If someone wishes to change the Conditional Format (for example) then
the workbook must be un-shared to permit this. Tracked changes are then
lost.

When the workbook returned to you was it still Shared?

View this thread: www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=537743No, it wasn't (and I am quite sure, that the other people in my group
are not able to find out about sharing of spreadsheets) -- however, I
found that actually there is a piece of shared server, where I can post
the XLS file, so that it almost (barring bug with scrolling and
freezing panes) works for us.
