Saving Workbook
Hi,
This question probably has a very simple answer. Problem = I have a worksheet "Weekly Runs.xls" and I do not want anyone resaving the worksheet - but I don't want to protect the contents of the worksheet because I want people to be able to play around with it - I just don't want people making changes and resaving the worksheet. So is there a settings you can set so that people can't resave the worksheet as "Weekly Runs.xls"? Thanks for your help |

You can mark the file as readonly in windows explorer. That makes it slightly
more difficult to destroy your original workbook. You can file|SaveAs|Tools|General Options and give it a password to modify (not open). This can make it slightly more difficult, too. But if you really want to protect it, talk to your IT staff and ask for a network share that only you have write access to--but allow others to have read access. You may want to allow a trusted coworker to have write access, too (when you're on vacation???). Jeff wrote: Hi, This question probably has a very simple answer.
