Prevent user from saving workbook

[keithl816]

hi all,

Is it possible to prevent a user from saving a workbook, i have
workbook that is for viewing purposes, but would like for it not to b
a workbook that can be saved or even prompted to save. If so, how?

Any help is very appreciated

The best way is to store it in a network directory where the user has only
view rights and not write rights, tho it would not keep the person from
saving it to another location. Other than that, there is no failsafe way.
You could use macros, but it's difficult to force people to enable them. If
they're not enabled, your security doesn't work.

Hi Anne,

I didn't even think of that, it's on our Z drive, I'll have to chang
the rights to view only.

Thanks,
