Hi again,
I realized that my first message might not be very well detailed and I just found an old thread about the same problem with no solution: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/poi-user/200405.mbox/%3C02F8EC1 [email protected]%3E To the question asked in the old thread: if the person in the excel client closes/reopens the spreadsheet, do they see the reflected automatic changes? The answer is: yes, it will see the reflected changes if he does NOT save the document before exiting. Thanks again, Alexandre ________________________________ From: Thouin, Alexandre Sent: July 7, 2011 11:09 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: Shared workbook support for XLS documents Hi all, First, I just want to thank you for giving us the opportunity to work with XLS files from Java. This is great! So the question, I'm trying to modify a shared XLS file with POI but it does not work as expected. Instead of "participating" to the shared workbook, it overwrites the file (overwriting changes from other people) when I'm saving the XLS file from Java. Is there a way to "push" the modified data and then participate to the shared workbook? Thanks! Alexandre
