Protection or some other method used to person must "save as"
 

I want the person I making a template for to have to do a save as and save
it as another spreadsheet each time and not be able to change the original.
Is that "protection", or some other method is used?

Thanks

I find the simplest thing to do is to mark the file as readonly in windows
explorer (well, if the file is in a common folder for everyone).

Ahhh! that maybe what I was trying to think of. If I make it "read-only",
and put on his computer he will have to "save-as" and make another copy each
time? Uhhh, my memory sucks now :O/

Thanks!!!!!

There are other options, too.

You could save your workbook as a template, then have the users create a new
workbook based on that template.
