The point of putting the documents on the Intranet in the first place is to discourage staff from saving docs on their C drive and manipulating them. I know we can never stop this behaviour, but we want to do what we can to stop it, hence the userform, and the hyperlink.
With the protection methods available, most users can be prevented from changing anything that shouldn't be changed. Another approach, which few users could get around, would be to use secure PDFs. That'll require a completely new approach, but it does have the benefit of allowing you to lock them down so tight they can't be printed or their contents copied (if that's what you want to do).

So, no, the boss won't be encouranging staff to download the documents to enable the macros to execute.
Doesn't your boss realise that, once the document's open, the users can save it locally anyway, and then work on it?
