Regardless of being able to keep from double-clicking via Carbon,
how do you account for an AppleScript opening the file. How about the
command line "open /Path/To/File.ext"? What about someone using a
text editor (or an editor of their choice) that can open any file via
"File|Open" or by dragging the file onto the app's icon? I'm sure
there are plenty of other ways to open a file. You *won't* secure
your data this way.
If your issue is privileges (ie, you don't want certain people
opening the file), you most definitely are going about this the wrong
way and this can definitely be handled by properly configuring your
file permissions on the server in question. You will need to go back
to basics and learn how to properly make use of user/file permissions
to solve this problem correctly.

Sorry can't do that. These files are all stored on Windows servers,
and they need to be able to create new files, delete files, etc.
I have to disallow the file form double clicking. It can be caught,
at least in carbon I have done that in the past.
Thanks,

Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems a strange way to go
about it. Why don't you just use file permissions to deny certain
users access to a file? I would imagine that permissions for
users, groups, and others offer enough flexibility to solve this
without trying to modify the user interface at such a basic level.

Hi,
I need to turn off the ability to allow users to double click on
a file and have them open it up. There are security reasons for
this, as we do not want to allow students to open up the file and
change grades or attendance. So we have to go through our login
procedure that allows the teachers or administrators to open the
file. But I can not see anyway to turn this off. I know in Carbon
this is done through Apple Events, and ma sure that it is done
the same way with Cocoa. I have looked on Apples site and
searched this list, but have not be able to find the answer to this.
Thanks in advance for any help.
