SharePoint And Excel version 2003

[thepoet]

Hi I was researching this site earlier while searchng for a solution to my problem. I have uploaded and excel spread sheet to the sharepoint that we have at work. I would like my users to be able to download that document from the sharepoint, edit it print it or save it to their computer, The trouble is i dont want them to be able to use the "save feature" as then then the changes would save their changes to the sharepoint. Early today I found a code her that that somewhat disabled the save feature as I wanted. Here it the trouble. I download the document to excel from she sharepoint, edit it and click save. And it saved even with the new code in place! So I clicked save again, and there was the message that i was looking for that read (you can not save this document pleace choose the save as feature) Great so I tried it again by closing the document and then downloading the excel sheet from the sharepoint once again, I made a change and darn it saved! hit save one more time,and I get the message (you can not save this document pleace choose the save as feature) . How can this be, numberous tries gave me the same resutls.

Please help if you can

Thanks
Joan

You can control who canedit the file from SharePoint's permissions. You don't need any code that I am aware of.
