I want to save an Excel spreasheet in a public folder and have my Users be able to change it. Is this possible with Exchange and Outlook?

Just Figured I'd clean this one up.

You can store any type of document into a Mailbox Folder or a Public Folder. It can be inside a message or just dragged directly in there.

However, you should know that when a user opens it from a public folder - it actually saves it back to their hard drive - in the Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Settings\ and the user is actually working from it here. When they hit save - it re-posts the information into the folder - so they are not working on it just like it was in the filesystem.
