How to protect existing files while allowing new files in a folder?

Tags: Microsoft, Server, 2003, NTFS Permissions
Say I have a folder called: \data

In \data, I have files and sub folders.

I want one specific user (UserAccount A)  to have full control over everything - no problem I already set that.

But I also want every OTHER user (Domain Users) to have the ability to create NEW files and folders in \data, but not OVERWRITE existing files and folders..   So in other words, they could open \data\DocumentA.doc but they would have to SAVE-AS and make a NEW file in order to save the document to \data.

I've gone in and looked at the explicit NTFS permissions but can't seem to get the right combination of file and folder permissions set in order for this to work.  

How is this possible via NTFS permissions on the server? (2003)
