I am a little confused as to why you would click the save button on a read
only file. There should be nothing to save since no changes can be made,
unless you want to save it under a different name, in which case, the pop up
message is appropriate.

Is it possible to disable the message box that appears when I click the save

copy, click OK, then give the workbook a new name in Save As dialog box€�)

I have disabled the Save As dialog in the Workbook_BeforeSave() event and am
displaying a customized message.
