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!
