Detect if spreadsheet is opened off the web
 

is there anyway to detect if an excel sheet is opened off the web?
my requirement is to detect if excel file is directly opened from the web,
and if so, I need to provide a message to the user to save to the local
machine first.

any suggestions??

You might check the workbook path and do something based on that.

as path is different based on OS and browser settings, its not a wise
solution. can anyone think of better option.

Wouldn't you be able to tell if it's a local machine from the path?
