You can mark it read-only. The more typical solution is to save it as a
template, then have the users use File-New, using that template. Then they
do an ordinary save, and it saves as a workbook, not a template.

I have an excel spreadsheet on a shared drive at work. When people in the
office open the file, is there a way to make them "save as" and not to be
able to type on the original file?

Thanks for any help in advance!!!
