I would like to share a folder (contains only MS EXCEL & MS WORD files) in my server (also a Domain Controller) and the users can only:- 1) Access (read) existing files 2) Create new files 3) Cannot overwrite or modify any existing files (this will force them to save as a new file) 4) Cannot delete any existing files or folders I understand this can be done by applying some settings in "ADVANCED SECURITY SETTINGS" for the shared folder. However, I’ve been trying for weeks with all sorts of possible combinations and still I'm unable to achieve it. Now I’m starting to wonder whether this is even possible. Hopefully someone here can help, or worse case scenario, make me realize that I should give up finally (in case it's confirmed that this is not possible at all). Thank you very much.

Without Modify on the share, they won't be able to create new files. You'd then have to set each individual file's permissions to read only. Life is more painless for those who are brainless.
