Hi Mark and All,

Does anyone have a favorite resource for Microsoft Excel questions?

Here is my current specific question in case there are MS Office experts monitoring the thread. I have a file saved as comma delimited that updates real time in Excel. I can save this file to disk and use the static information in the file to create a chart in another program. But Excel blocks access to the saved file so I have to close the program in Excel before the other program can use the file. How can I keep the file open in Excel and still allow another program to use the last saved version of the file.

Here's an interesting note. I can have the *.csv file open in simple text editors and still access the file in the charting program. It is only Excel and Word that block access to the file.

Any ideas?

Esteban
