The only thing I know of that works at the NTFS level would be encryption options. But if they can authenticate to the computer then they have access - which is probably not what you want. Maybe when WinFS happens... Microsoft is doing work with the office suite that allows the document publisher (word, excel, ppt, publisher, etc) to encode permissions that can prevent either printing or saving - however that does not prevent file access copying (and is specific to their apps). I seem to remember that Adobe is like that too.

What if the files are not word-docs? I'm looking for a more generalised way to do this, file format-independent if you like. And 1) isn't practical. I'm just speculating now and checking the options. And I'm still grateful for all pointers and hints you guys care to toss me. ******************************************************** This Weeks Sponsor: Straymonkey.com Excellent web templates, fonts, and downloads on this new site brought to you by The Kenzig Group http://www.straymonkey.com ********************************************************** To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/win2000list.cfm ******************************************************** This Weeks Sponsor: Straymonkey.com Excellent web templates, fonts, and downloads on this new site brought to you by The Kenzig Group http://www.straymonkey.com ********************************************************** To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/win2000list.cfm
