My brother and I each independently started a database years ago, fondly thinking there would only be about a hundred names on it...we now both run into thousands. My question is this:- I keep seeing "Shared Workbook" option but cant fathom out how this works. What we want to do is merge our two files into one (and put it onto CD instead of floppies) and both be able to add information to the file without having to email each other with every bit of information we find and then each having to enter that information. Is that what shared workbook does? And how do we set it up?Can we both work indepenently on it? Help please - in idiot-speak if possible!
