Is there any way to prevent deletion of an Excel file through Microsoft
Explorer. The file is stored on a local drive.

Your MIS folks can make the directory "Read-only" to everyone except
you........

And just to add...

If you put the file on a readonly drive, then that file won't be able to be
updated by anyone with just readonly access.

Excel saves as a new name, deletes (or renames the original file) and renames
the new file as the old name.

The that file can't be deleted, you may have more problems than you want.
