User replaces existing file with blank during file open

I have a couple of users that are constantly overwriting a workbook on the
network with a blank copy of the same name. They say when they do file open
and open the file they get a message that the file exists do they want to
replace and if they say yes it overwrites the good copy with a blank. I have
them set to not use offline line files but that didn't stop the problem.
 
Just a guess...

But it sounds like they're hitting File|SaveAs instead of File|Open.

This would pretty farfetched--is there a chance that someone modified their
toolbar so that file|Open does the wrong thing?

Do they see "Save As" or "Open" in the titlebar of that dialog?
 
well you know anything is possible and that's probably as best of a guess as
there is. I'll have them start only using the file open option instead of
toolbar icons. Thanks
 
Maybe you can wander over (if you're in the same facility) and watch them do it
a few times.

If they're using toolbar icons, maybe they're hitting the wrong items???
