Perhaps you can explain your reason for doing this. I don't quite understand why there is a need for this. Are you sending out this file to others in your family? Or are there others using your computer? Why would anyone want to make changes to your files? How do they get access?
The way I handle "security" of my data is to keep a backup copy of the latest version of my data. Legacy asks me every time I close down whether I want to make a backup copy. I do. I keep it separate from where my data files reside so they don't both risk being lost should disaster strike (as it will|). If someone does make any changes to my file (which would be most difficult), I stilll have the "good" copy that I use for working on; anything else is a throw-away version. I could send that to other family members, they can do what they like with it, but I still have the "official" version of the data. I am selfish and keep complete control of all my data files!! :-)
There are other ways you can use to share your data with family members that don't involve giving away complete control of all your hard work collecting and organizing your valuable family data and allowing someone else to corrupt it. My opinion only; ymmv (your mileage may vary).

Is there any way to make a family file read-only within the application?
I have created a family file that I would like to prevent from getting changes.
