I have a SBS 2008 which has several shared folders.<br />
<br />
The client has asked for one file to be restricted to allow only certain users to be able to edit it.<br />
<br />
I changed the security setting after clicking Advanced and removing the tick from Inherit permissions.<br />
<br />
All was fine until a user edited and saved the file. The inherited permissions came back.<br />

How do I stop it inheriting the permissions.
