The plug-in is really cool and convenient! I see that, in current version, you must upload .xls not .xlsx (not Excel 2007). Aside from the versioning, is there any XLS functionality loss when uploading/downloading? If so, is that listed anywhere; e.g., visual basic modules, pivot tables, are any range names not transferable...it would be good to know if any sort of XLS cannot be 100% transferred back and forth. Thanks again! David Harper @ www.bionicturtle.com Gus – Thanks for your helpful replay. The plug-in is really cool and convenient!

You can definitely share your eXpresso spreadsheets with free users of eXpresso. A free user may only upload 5 Excel spreadsheets, but they can access an unlimited number of spreadsheets that have been shared with them. The features available on any given spreadsheet are determined by the account status of the spreadsheet owner. For example, regional editing, cell tracking, chat, and rollbacks are only enabled if the spreadsheet owner is an eXpresso Pro user. Plug-in (also called Add-In) access is only available to eXpresso Pro users. For a comparison of features, please visit: http://www.expressocorp.com/pricing/ Great question.

I like to share spreadsheets with my (web based) customers but without requiring them to purchase anything additional (i.e., it should be their option). As I understand, if i buy the Pro version, then any of my customers can use the free version. Specifically, aside from limit = 5, they will be able to open my shared XLS into their Excel...thanks, I am just trying to understand the full parameters around a one-to-many (broadcast type) environment.

That being said, I think PM applications are about managing process. We are all about facilitating real-time collaboration, which is contextual, relational, and dynamic. I do know many of our customers use spreadsheets to manage projects, and by hosting those files in eXpresso, teams are better able to keep each other updated without needing to redistribute spreadsheets when data changes.
