I apologize before hand if this is posted in the wrong group. Is it possible
to save a workbook as a template so that I can allow multipule users to open
their own version of a single workbook? If so, can anyone point me in the
right direction as to how.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do File|SaveAs and choose "Template (*.xlt)" from the "Save as type:" box.

Then the users will have to do File|New to get a new workbook based on this
template.

An alternative would be to save the file and use windows explorer to mark it
ReadOnly. (Just rightclick on that filename and choose properties to change
this setting.)

The other users can open the file, but it will open in ReadOnly mode. Be aware
that anyone could change this setting (just like you did) to remove that
readonly flag.
