Removing Save Option form menu (Can You?)

Mister H · Mar 12th, 2002, 07:43 AM

Hi: I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to remove the SAVE OPTION from an excel worksheet. What I would like to do is have it so that the only option is SAVE AS and this way the orginal document will never be altered. I am sending the form out to numerous people and this feature would be ideal. Is there any way of doing this? I guess the SAVE OPTION would also have to be removed from the toolbar. Hoping for a solution.

Thanks,
Mark

If you click VIEW/TOOLBARS/CUSTOMIZE

Then just drag the save icon into the pop up, that works

Hi

I think you maybe over comlicating things. Why not just save it as "read only"??

Thanks for your help... That seems to do the trick.
