er - why not make it read only access then ?

It is possible to disable both the Save & Save As menu items but the user
can reenable them by loading your spreadsheet a second time, and then
closing it.

I know this has ben dealt with several times on the NG, and I've spent all
morning sifting through what I can find (thanks, Ron de Bruin, for your
excellent Google search tool!), but I'm either not asking the right
questions or not understanding what I'm seeing.

I have a workbook on a company-wide server. I'd like to let the users
open
it, view it, sort, filter, and mangle it at their pleasure, *BUT* close
without saving any changes that have been made. I guess that means the
SAVE
and SAVE AS commands also have to be disabled.

If anyone can help me with this, or point me to the previous discussions,
I
would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.
