Prevent Renaming file in SharePoint

Question

My question is simple, but i'm sure the answer could be complicated. Looking for your thoughts/resolutions:

Q: I have a new 'Server-Side' document in Sharepoint, and I want to grant people the abilitiy to edit it, but prevent people from saving/uploading it back with a new-file name. How can I do this? To be clear, I'd like people to make changes to the same file only, and not change the name as future changes are made.

Thanks

You can add an Item updating event receiver to your list. Using this method you can add your business logic to avoid renaming the file.
