Good day all.

I am trying to provent users from saving any changes to a document. What
properties or methods may I use to prevent the "Changes has been made" dialog
from appearing to the user?

Thanks in advance for your assitance.

Maybe not what your looking for, but you can set a password for modify only.

Select "Save As" and on the "Tools" Button select "Security Options"

If you let users see your document, they can do whatever they want with it.
Anything that you can see on screen or paper can be duplicated or edited.
You can only make things a little more difficult - the obvious choice being
to save as a PDF file with protected options for printing and editing. You
will need third party software to do this and ultimately it is not
foolproof.
