There's no bullet proof way to stop a user saving an
excel workbook. For example they could open it with
macros disabled ... so any event driven code would not
work.

What we do is give the user a shortcut to the excel
workbook and then write protect the workbook. This
prevents the user from writing over the "production" copy
of the workbook while it doesn't prevent them saving a
copy with a different name

Hello,

Is it possible to open a new workbook and make it
impossible for the user to save the new workbook. Also
let them know that they can't save it!

Thanks in advance,
James
