    Force Save as .xlsm filetype

    Hi

    I have created an Expense Claim form in Excel 2007, which includes a BeforePrint macro to prevent printing of the form if certain data is incorrect or incomplete. However, users can simply save the file as .xlsx, which means the macro is no longer operative.

    Is there a way I can force the users to Save the file only as an .xlsm filetype?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
    Deon
