thanks for your response. can you show me some code to do this. when i try
to run the code with Application.ActiveWorkbook.Container an error is
generated. can this code be placed in the Workbook_Activate event?

thanks

look at the workbooks' container property

but be carefull you cannot do it in any open event
as the container is only available when the book is
fully loaded.

i have a web application that streams an excel workbook to the
client. i want to prevent the user from saving the workbook locally.
the user should only be able to work with the workbook through the
web browser. is there a way to tell if excel is being run in a web
browser?
