Default "Track Changes" - Prevent turn off track changes to meet SOX regs

Is there any modification that can be done so that users cannot turn off the
"Track Changes" feature in Excel 2003? We are trying hard to meet SOX
compliance without purchasing addtional software.

Default "Track Changes" - Prevent turn off track changes to meet SOX regs

Hi,

Turn on change tracking for a workbook

1. On the Tools menu, click Share Workbook, and then click the Editing tab.
2. Select the Allow changes by more than one user at the same time check box.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Under Track changes, click Keep change history for, and in the Days box,
type the number of days of change historythat you want to keep.

Be sure to enter a large-enough number of days because Microsoft Excel
permanently erases any change history older than this number of days.

5. Click OK, and if prompted to save the file, click OK.

Note: Turning on change tracking also shares (shared workbook: A workbook
set up to allow multiple users on a network to view and make changes at the
same time. Each user who saves the workbook sees the changes made by other
users.) the workbook.
