Is there a way to protect a file that prevents it being overwritten in
explorer?

Not through excel.

Maybe you could talk to your IT folks and put the file on a common shared
folder.

Give all the users readonly access to that folder--and only allow trusted
coworkers (you and a backup???) to have write access to that folder.

There's always the Read-Only attribute -- right-click the file and do
Properties, and you'll see it. But network security is better.
