How do I send a file which is Read Only and have it still be Read Only
when it is received by the recipient?

I attached a file, which I know is Read Only, but when I open it from
the Email it is no longer Read Only.

I am using Outlook 2003.

Send it as a PDF? It would be helpful to know what kind of file we're
talking about.

I am trying to send an Excel file which needs to be used as Read Only.

I have it in a folder on my hard disc. I have checked it's attributes
and it is Read Only. When I open it with Excel it is Read Only.

When I Email the file to myself, when I open it from the Email it is not
Read Only. There is VBA code in the open event that only runds when
ThisWorkbook.ReadOnly = true. Obviously this code does not run after it
has been Emailed.

Going back to my question: Is this all within an Exchange environment?
There are DRM options if it is, but if you're not in an Exchange
environment, I don't want to confuse with details that won't be useful.
