Default prohibit saving excel file

Rita,

Save it as an Excel Template (with an .xlt extension) - it is one of the options under the filetype
in the save as dialog. When someone opens it, any save defaults to a regular workbook.

HTH,
Bernie

We have a master excel file that I do not want overwritten. I always want it
saved under a different name. How do I do this? Would I make it "read
only"? Thanks.
