Default Protect file from being overwritten via "save as"

Is there a way to prevent someone from saving over a specific file?

I've created a file on a network drive for some users. Some of the users
complain about the time it takes to open the excel file. What they've done
is save the file to their C:\ once the file is open. Make their changes and
then "save-as" back to the network drive (thus overwriting) the original file.

How can I prevent them from saving over my file with their "new" file?
