Jim, If I drag a doc into a public folder, then open that doc within outlook, edit it, and save it... it saves directly back to the public folder. I never stated opening it as an attachment on the local drive. However if I email that doc to the public folder as an attachment then you are correct in assuming it stores a copy in "local settings/temp interweb files" and that is the one that gets updated in this case.

If you save an attachment to an e-mail, located in a PF to your HD and modify it, you are working on a new copy of the document...not the one sent in the original e-mail. Then once you are done working on the document, you reply to the original or post a new message, it is adding the document that was on your HD and is not overwriting what is already in the store...it's adding a second document to the store. The only way this would be possible, is if you were saving attachments off to a file server and including a link to that file in the post or e-mail. Then, if the individual goes out and modifies the document at the end of the link, it would indeed change the base document sent to everyone. But again, in that case, set the original to read only. Doesn't Office also come with a version control tool somewhere in the settings? -----Original Message----- From: Scott Weston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 11:43 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Read Only Attachments It will however if it is posted to a public folder. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Winzenz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 1:41 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Read Only Attachments It doesn't. See, when you open an attachment in Outlook without saving it first, it really does save it - just in temp files. I don't know where it saves it to (probably the same temp location), but it does not save the original that the sender sent. That would be quite clever if it could do that.

So I don't think protecting a worksheet would work since the other person would need to know the password to edit the sheet and this opens up another issue of forgotten passwords. We basically just need to make sure that the received attachment (original) does not get overwritten when the user opens the attachment in Outlook and plays around with it. -----Original Message----- From: Chinnery, Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 11:23 AM To: Exchange Discussions If you're talking MS such as Excel, why not just turn on protection?

I need to prevent users from modifying and saving attachments back to the information store. I'm on Exchange 2000 SP3. Clients are all using Outlook 2002.
