Shared File & Freeze panes issue

[SCA]

We are using a Shared file, but the Freeze panes at
times "resets" so that it appears the screen is frozed
unitl you reset freeze panes.

This is not due to user changesm but occurs in the
original file that was emailed.

Is ther any way to prevent this?

There's a guy at work who sometimes applies Window|Freeze panes to a filtered
list.

While the list is filtered the way he has it, you can see the titles and the
data nicely.

But when you do Data|filter|show all (or reset the filter), the cell used to set
the freeze panes is now off the viewable screen and it looks like the display
won't move.

An example.

He applies data|filter|autofilter to his data. Filters on a value in column A.
You can see sell A1 (headers) and then A65. He selects A65 (the first visible
cell under the header) and applies window freeze panes.

But when someone shows all the data, Rows 1 to 64 are frozen. And the screen
looks frozen when scrolling around.

Removing the freeze panes and reapplying when the filter isn't engaged returns
things to normal.

Maybe it's something as simple as that -- and nothing to do with the
"sharedness" of the workbook at all.

Like SCA, I believe this is a shared file (with filters) issue, since it
doesn't seem to happen on non-shared files. Here's the problem:

I have a habit of freezing the top two rows in my workbooks (with multiple
worksheets) so that column headings in row 1 and filters in row 2 are always
visible when I scroll down. In shared files only, the freeze frame will have
mysteriously jumped down to another row, for example row 100, when I first
open the file. In other words, when I first open the worksheet, I might see
rows 1 to 30 on my screen, but I can't scroll down because the freeze frame
is down at row 100. This can happen at odd times on all worksheets in a
workbook, or just some of them. So unfortunately, I often end up having to
reset the freeze pane under row 2 again for all or some of the worksheets.
Since there are only two of us in the office sharing these workbooks, I'm
confident that neither of us are inadvertantly changing the placement of the
frozen panes. Perhaps the fact that we are both filtering columns and saving
the shared workbooks is causing Excel to reset the freeze pane inadvertantly.

If someone could figure out this problem it would be very helpful to me.
Shared workbooks are a powerful tool but I have to limit there use to just a
few power users, sothis problem really limits my ability to use shared
workbooks more broadly in my office.
