Default file name

My section sends out excel files to users. They then work
on them and return them to us for 'filing'.

When they are sent out (by e-mail) they are named in a
specific format, we want the file back with the same
name. But users will change the file name which is a pain.

Is there any way to stop users changing the file name?

Thanks in advance.

Default file name

If you could do it in Excel, they could always change the name in windows
explorer.
