Default Disabling Save Function


Is it possible to prevent someone from saving a spreadsheet? I have an
Excel app. that I am trying to sell and want to put a downloadable demo
version on my website, but don't want people to be able to save it.

I was thinking something along the lines of this, placed in the
ThisWorkbook VBA module:


Code:
--------------------
On ApplicationSave
MsgBox "Application cannot be saved"
Close Workbook
--------------------


I'm not sure of the exact syntax but would that work in principle?

Or does anyone have any other ideas for how I can create a 'trial'
version of the application which is disabled in some way so that people
still have to buy the full version in order to get full functionality?

Thanks
-Rob
