spreadsheet
 

I want to create a workbook. Then I want to freeze that
workbook so that it can not be changed.
I want people to open it, and do a save as and name that
workbook something else. Then, I want the new workbook to
be fully editable.
Is this possible?

Sounds as though you want to save your file as a Template. Excel knows to
open a copy of template files, not the file itself. If the template is named
DansTemplate.xlt and a user opens it, they'll see a new workbook named
DansTemplate1

Look at 'Create a template' in the help file
