Is it possible to move an excel file into another folder on a shared drive
without carrying over the permissions set in the source folder?
 
Hello Stu,

I believe that is the default behavior, at least if I move a file out of my
private folder into the shared folder on this computer, then the other user
can read/edit it. Going the other way, you can protect both sheets and
workbooks (Tools>Protection), and the folder it's in won't matter. And in
Office 2003 Pro you can restrict permission on an Office file itself:
File>Permission.

Regards,
IanRoy
