Windows Server 2003 Permissions Help

[Guest ICJD]

I have a folder that a number of users have access to. The folder contains

Excel files. I want the users to be able to open and make changes and then

save the Excel file. I do not want users to be able to delete the files nor

do I want the users to create files or folders within this folder.

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks for your help.

I don't think so.

 

When you open a .xls or a .doc a temporary copy is made.

When you save, after successfully writing to disk the old file is deleted

and the new one re-named.

This is a sound method.

 

Really a new class of NTFS permission is required - MS Office File Update!
