hello shg,

1. What keeps the user from using the SaveAs dialog to save over the original file? Why not just make the file read-only?

Yes good idea, I will make it read-only. I would still like to have the message box appear if a user clicks save.

2. Once the user does a SaveAs to another filename, they are still precluded from doing a Save. Is that your intent?

This is exactly my problem. I would like the user to be able to save the file if they go through SaveAs, but not if they go through Save. Thank you.
