Excel idle = autokick

[creedAMD]

Hey, we have a few excel docs on our network that 10 or so of us share inputting data into, problem is that everyone forgets to close out of it, making others have to send an email. Is there a way to get excel to kick the user that is idle so others can get into the doc?

Thanks.

Are you all modifying the same parts?
(IE: overlapping changes)

If not, I think there's a version of CVS that would make your likes oh-so-harmonious.

Are you sharing the file? (via Tools>Share Workbook)

we have the file on a network drive, we just go into the file, edit it then save/get out of it.
