How do anchor a file to a location so no one can shift it?
I have set up on a shared drive a file that has been moved by someone else. I
found the file and returned it to its rightful place but wish to make sure it cannot be moved again. Is there a way of fixing its location to one directory? |

How do anchor a file to a location so no one can shift it?
I don't think you can stop them.
You could use a macro that checks for location when the file opens, but macros can be disabled. If the workbook is not saved by the user, then you could talk to your IT Staff to put it on a readonly network share. But this won't stop them from copying the file to another location. If the workbook is saved by the user, then the readonly network share won't work either. They'll need read/write/create/delete permission to update the file. I think it boils down to a training issue and keeping lots of backups that you can restore from. hallday wrote: I have set up on a shared drive a file that has been moved by someone else.
