We are trying to use a shared space (eRoom), where we can work with one document. All users have Windows (XL 2002 or 2003), except one [not me] who uses Mac XL 2004. For XL2002/2003 when we load a workbook and select version control, it allows us to right-click the file and Edit directly, as well as provide about 10 other options. However, when CTRL+Clicking with the Mac only offers the ability to download, and none of the "normal" Windows options.

Any ideas on getting the Mac to be able to get access to these other commands and edit directly on the web site with Version Tracking?

Never tried it but there is a 'Share Workbook' command on the Tools menu. Will that help, or is it Mac-specific?

Originally we were looking at Share Workbook, but it won't work in this situation. However, we did find that there was an Mac option available that doesn't show on the Windows side, but it allows the same kind of editing. Just took a while for our administrator to figure it out.
