I have the need to lock down access to certain files. I need to make the file viewable (open the file) but I don't want users to be able to save them to a different location or print them. I'm using NT4.0. Does anyone know the best way to accomplishthis?

Thanks

Hi,
Hate to tell you, but what you want is application specific.
If a user can read a file, he can copy it. Nothing you can do about it from out of the box NT 4.0
I don't know what data you want to protect, but I would suggest to use a tool like Adobe Acrobat. You can "print" from the source into the pdf document and also restrict operations like printing.
