Yep...using OfficeXP at least, I get the following options when I do that: Do you want to merg changes in 'Blah.doc' back into 'c:\user\blah.doc'? "Yes", "No" and "No, don't ask again"

I just opened it up and modified it a bit, closed it and said yes to the prompt asking if I want to save the document. -----Original Message----- From: Carmila Fresco Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 12:20 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Read Only Attachments You sure about this? Here's what I did. I sent myself an email with a word attachment. Opened up the word attachment and made modifications. When I closed the word document, it asked me if I want to save it and I did. Went to a different machine and opened the mail message I sent myself with the attachment and the modifications are there! -----Original Message----- From: Ben Winzenz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 11:41 AM 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.
