'Declaration
Function ExclusiveAccess As Boolean
'Usage
Dim instance As _Workbook
Dim returnValue As Boolean
returnValue = instance.ExclusiveAccess()
bool ExclusiveAccess()
Return Value
Type: System.Boolean
Remarks
The ExclusiveAccess method saves any changes you've made to the workbook and requires other users who have the workbook open to save their changes to a different file.
If the specified workbook isn't open as a shared list, this method fails. To determine whether a workbook is open as a shared list, use the MultiUserEditing property.
