Restricting file access

Hi,
Is there anyway I can restrict file access. All users belong to the Everyone Group. There is a directory on the F drive which contains an excel file for each user. Is there a way I can allow the users to see only their excel file? The users will have to be able to save and modify their own file. I know I can set passwords in excel, but I would rather restrict through Novell user names. I am using Netware 4.
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes that's possible;

Create a new directory, for example \\server\sys\XLDATA.
Create a directory for each user in it. Assign every user only rights to their directory. That should do it.

You can put the shared files in the XLDATA directory, and give the everyone group permissions ONLY ON FILES, not the directories.

Regards,
Rob
