Hi,
Although I know this probably won't solve your problem directs,
In support of Karl's comment, here is a pretty complete list of the features
which are lost when you go to Shared Files, as in some cases the workarounds:
Features that are unavailable in shared workbooks
You can access the following features only if you stop sharing the workbook.
You cannot use shared workbooks (shared workbook: A workbook set up to allow
multiple users on a network to view and make changes at the same time. Each
user who saves the workbook sees the changes made by other users.) on Web
servers.
Unavailable feature Alternatives
Create lists (list: A series of rows that contains related data or a series
of rows that you designate to function as a datasheet by using the Create
List command.) None
Work with XML data, including: None
Import, refresh, and export XML data

Map cells to XML elements

Insert or delete blocks of cells You can insert entire rows and columns.
Delete worksheets None
Merge cells or split merged cells None
Add or change conditional formats Existing conditional formats continue to
appear as cell values change, but you can't change these formats or redefine
the conditions.

new values, but you can't change existing data validation settings.

multiple calculations on one or more sets of values, and then returns either
