Windows Folder Permission to Add Only

Hi Experts,
We have a file server running Windows Server 2003.  I need to allow a certain group of users the ability to drop files into a folder, but not modify the file or its data.  I can't find a way to do this...  Help, please!

Use special permissions and check the permissions as in the picture. It should work.

Also then ensure that there's no other group that will override this for users!

Thanks for your responses!
nimatejic: this will allow modify to the file contents, so that won't work.

NotVeryFat - This sounds good.  We're trying it out now...

Thanks again
I think that Append Data is for modifying files. Have you tried it?
I had to add one additional permission.  The append data on the second tick would not allow me to drop a file in, but I added write and it worked!  It will not allow changes to the file.  Thanks very much!
