Workbook.ExclusiveAccess Method
Visual Studio 2005
Assigns the current user exclusive access to the workbook that is open as a shared list.
Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel (in microsoft.office.tools.excel.dll)
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel (in microsoft.office.tools.excel.dll)
This method saves any changes made to the workbook and requires other users who have the workbook open to save their changes to a different file.
If the workbook is not open as a shared list, this method fails. To determine whether a workbook is open as a shared list, use the MultiUserEditing property.
