Do not allow copy of file
 

Good morning!

I have a 2003 excel file posted to a network drive in which users are to
make daily entries. Is there a way to protect this file from being copied to
one's hard drive, or to the network? With 2 copies running, users think they
are entering data into the master file, but are only putting it into the
copy. Duplicate serial numbers occurr and it turns into a disaster to merge
the files.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Have a GREAT day!

Do not allow copy of file
 

If they are using the "copies" on their hard drive to simplyfy the steps it
takes to get to the original, then maybe a shortcut to the original would
make it easy for everybody to have on their desktop.
