Sync 1 xls file between computer and network drive

Same file in two places.
When you work in the file on the computer, the file on the network drive gets updated automatically.

Seems like I did this years ago but my brain is failing me...
How do I do this?
TIA

EDIT
I did it with the Briefcase but that's not how I recall doing it.

Robocopy can run as a process and monitor folder (not file) changes.

Something like:
Code:
robocopy /copyall /zb /mon:1 c:\source\ d:\dest\

This will update the folder contents every minute if changes have been made.

You could probably put this in the startup folder, or schedule a task at reboot, or add it to one of the registry areas. The issue is it will run in a command prompt window, which is annoying. Maybe creating a custom service could prevent that...I don't know.
