David,

Save the workbook as a template, and the user will be prompted for a name
when they use save or save as, unless they specifically save the file as a
template as well.

You could also use windows explorer to mark the file as readonly.

Be aware that the user could also change this setting.

If you want set all the persons to do Save As then just place the cursor on
that particular file and do Right ClickPropertiesGeneralAttributesTick
the Read Only Check boxgive ok.

If this post helps, Click Yes!
