I have a NT4 SBS server with 20 users. i am trying to allow users to create new files and directories, edit the existing files but not delete anything. the problem is if i give read and write but not delete. then the users can still delete files that they are the owner of. and also a lot of temp files are left behind. is there a way around this without having to take aownership, and getting a user with permission to delete all the temp files. I know that in 2000 onwards there is a permission to allow change.

No, you can't prevent delete. Users must have delete permission for changes and temp files. All you can, is to split data by owners and let them to work in seperate folders.
