I have a folder that contains folders and excel files.

I want all users can edit the current excel files, BUT they canNOT
create folders and delete folders. How can I do it ?

There is a check box in permission: [Create folders / Append Data],
when I deny it.
Then I cannot even edit the current excel files. Problem caused.

Could anyone help me ? Thanks a lot.
 
You need to use special permissions in the advanced page and by doing so you
can give users different permissions for the possibilities under the "apply
onto" drop down box. Look at the root/drive folder in XP to get an idea of
how special permissions are used where you probably will see users listed
three times. When looking at special permissions and you see a permissions
such as Create folders / Append Data, the create folders applies only to
folders and append data applies only to files. The link below explains
special permissions more. What you could try on the parent folder is to
give users read/list execute on the generic permission page. Now go into
special permissions, find the group, select edit, and then check allow for
create files/write data assuming you want users to be able to add files to
the folder. Then select add, select the group again, and select the allow
permissions you want users to have for files only and then select files only
in the apply onto drop down box. When you are done you should see that your
group has two sets of special permissions. --- Steve
