Hi Johan,

Sorry, but read is basically by definition copy, since the
user technically reads it from her machine, it needs to
get there for whatever application she is using to read.

If this is a requirement, the closest suggestion i can
give you is to use terminal services, and have them
connect into the server to read and do what they need.

Also, you might investigate the Windows Rights Management
Services at the following link:
