Re:
If you are using Excel 2003, go to the tools menu and choose share workbook. Set it so that users get exclusive use of the workbook. Others wont be able to use it until the changes have been saved and the person who has exclusive use closes it. If you allow lots of people use of the workbook at the same time and they are all trying to save you risk a corruption of the spreadsheet. It is obviously important to you as so many people use it.

Re:
You copy and paste that excel file with another name in your local hard disk.
Make your necessary changes and then paste it with same name on your network.

Whenever Excel closes unexpectedly, "ghost users" can remain in a "shared" workbook. Excel tracks changes in order to synchronize between users, resulting in huge file sizes. In order to fix the problem click Share Workbook (Review tab, Changes group in 2007 or Tools/Share Workbook in earlier). On the Editing tab see if there are any "Users" using the workbook. If so, remove them by clicking "Remove User." When you save again, the file should be back to normal. Being this is a Microsoft product, I want to re-emphasize the word "should" from my previous sentence...
There is a get external data function that you can backend the Excel to various sources via ODBC etc and it would be refreshed based on the updates to those sources, and then once it is linked properly, it will auto refresh. When you define the ODBC point to the file on the network and that would be the way to refresh to that. If the Excel is on the network, it can be shared.
