G'morning all,
We've got a computer acting as a file server, just running XP Pro, and all of the other computers on the network have its shared folder mapped as a network drive. Most of the files we access are spreadsheets and Word documents, but there's some images and other stuff too.
A number of spreadsheets are shared and we're mixed between Excel 2000 and Excel 2003.
My question is, does it make a difference if a person opens the file through P:\file and/or \\computer\folder\file, is it going to... confuse ... Excel, or will it be fine if some people have it open one way and some the other?
Thanks!
