Just to add to Chip's response...

This won't stop the little devils from using windows explorer and copying your
file and pasting to a new location.

Hi

I have a read-only excel spreadsheet which my users open, there is a link to
an access database using ms query which automatically updates to show them
the latest information which they are supposed to use.

However, the little monsters, have a habit of saving it elsewhere and using
the wrong version. Is there any way i can stop them from saving it elsewhere,
i have tried removing the toolbars but i still get the 'File, Edit' etc menus
and anyway this isn't good because then they don't re-open when my users open
a completely unrelated spreadsheet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Emma
