Prevent Word Save As

[Supertension]

Hi,

I can open a Word document as read only from Access but I'd also like to be able to prevent users using Save As to save a copy of the document.

I can turn off Save As by writing some code within the Word document but I'd like to keep the Word document code free and control everything from Access.

Can anyone help me achieve this?

Many thanks

Maybe you could open it in something like this Word Viewer but I think it might be difficult to disable copying to the clipboard which would also allow user to make a copy.

What are you trying to prevent by doing this? If they can see the document they can make a copy of it one way or another.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I'd already tried the Word viewer but, unfortunately, it allows users to make a copy in a Word document.
