Is it possible to disable the save button and force a user
to use save as? Making the book read only is not an option
due to some calculation.

Thanks in advance

Hi
not sure why read only is not an option for you. You still can perform
changes you just have to save it to a different name

You can use this: of course, you will need to change the file name in the
code... Copy and paste into the ThisWorkbook object's codemodule.

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)
If (Not SaveAsUI) And (ThisWorkbook.Name = "Book4.xls") Then
MsgBox "You must use ""Save As"" to save with another name."
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub

I have a count that needs to increment everytime the
workbook is opened. I considered using another workbbok
for the count, but would rather not.
