Read- only Protect Folders and contents in WIN2K Server
I can protect the Word and Excel Documents. But how do You protect the files
from being Copied, Headers and Footers changed Changed or Moved. I tried the read only allow function and deny everything else, but it still allows it to do all of these things. |

Read- only Protect Folders and contents in WIN2K Server
I don't think you can stop the workbooks/files from being copied. The user
could use windows explorer to copy to any location they want. And any solution would probably include macros and macros can be disabled. And you can't stop headers and footers from being changed either. But a workaround that depends on macros being enabled is to (re)apply the headers and footers to every worksheet that you want in the _beforeprint event. Again, if macros are disable, then this won't help. Tommydraw123 wrote: I can protect the Word and Excel Documents.

What question didn't get answered?
The one about copying the workbook or the one about the headers/footers? Tommydraw123 wrote: "Dave Peterson" wrote: I don't think you can stop the workbooks/files from being copied.
