Hello again,

Within an existing workbook i have, is there a way to make the user save the
workbook under a new name to prevent overwriting the original??

Cheers!!!

one way is to do file - save as, select tools from the top menu then select
general options. Create a password to modify. Now anybody that opens the
workbook must enter a password or will only be able to open in read only
mode.
