Hi Everyone, I have a shared workbook which contains one sheet for each person in our workgroup. Each sheet has a set of checkboxes and a button. As the person works through their tasks using links from the spreadsheet - they tick off the corresponding checkbox. when all checkboxes are ticked they press the button and it turns green to signal that they're finished.
I have noticed that although the workbook is shared and only one person modifies each worksheet - there has been loss of data (loss of ticked checkboxes) quite regularly. it seems that people save over other peoples data - but in no pattern i can discern. some changes are kept and others lost. The checkboxes are named checkbox1, checkbox2 ...etc on every worksheet - could this be a problem? should i give them unique names? I didn't think this would be a problem as they belong to different sheets. Any help would be much appreciated.
