As well as Jim's advice, you may want to incorporate you own warning into a
routine to make it more easy for the user.
Maybe using .SaveCopyAs .
Also, using a template would mean that the original is never open in the
first place, only a copy. If that is an option.

Hi.

I am looking for a way to either disable or delay a user from saving a
workbook.
I have a lot of people using the workbook and people keep saving it
with a similar name confusing other users as to which is the real
application.

So, I would like to create a message that says the following when they
attempt to choose 'save' or 'save as' from the file menu.

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT SAVE THIS WORKBOOK. IF YOU
HAVE A PROBLEM OR WOULD LIKE TO SAVE YOUR WORK: (1)SELECT THE TAB OF
YOUR WORKSHEET (2) CHOOSE MOVE OR COPY (3) CREATE A COPY (4) UNDER 'TO
BOOK' CHOOSE NEW BOOK. ....THANKYOU.
