hi guys

dont normally hang out in this thread, but I recon this is where all the experts hang out that would be able to help me out :)

I've got two lists, list A and list B. Both contain about 50 records.

Basically I need to be able to have these 2 lists available to small group of ppl, which will be able to tick off each record (as the task is completed).

Now I was thinking of simply putting them into an excel file, and saving it on a shared drive, but then I would run into the whole ready-only issue when multiple users are accessing the file (and this WILL happen).

Im not really a programming person, but I was thinking some kind of webpage with the two lists and a tick box next to each task.

I just have no idea how to approach this... :(

Can someone help me out :confused:

In excel if you set a file as being shared. Go to the Review tab (Excel 2007) and click on the share workbook icon, then tick the box that says allow multiple people to make changes. They can now edit the document at the same time without it being locked to the other people.
 
We can help you.

++ REP :D
 
google docs
microsoft office live
if you're wanting to access it from outside of the lan that is.
 
Very confusing topic. "Tiny" is actually a electronic development micro board! :)
 
+1 to the Google docs suggestion.

Otherwise there's always a shared list in rememberthemilk.com

hi again

ok so I tried this and it works like a charm... but I have run into a snag! :(

when I update the excel file on any client (and then save) it automatically notifies the others that the file has been updated, which is great....

the problem is, that I have setup tickboxes for each task (using the developers tools) and these dont seem to count as "updates" to the file :confused:

any idea why?

I also see there is an ActiveX check box and a Form check box... not sure if that makes any difference!

please help :)
 
I give you nice price my friend. Code if for you for R4999.
