Locking bookmark filters

Hi,

I have a series of document bookmarks in my test.qvw that are used in conjunction with alerts that are triggered after each reload. For example, bookmark ID 10 has two filters applied - Country=United Kingdom and Business=Automobiles. The email that is sent for each alert includes a URL to the bookmark, for example: http://.../Qvplugin/opendoc.htm?document=test.qvw?bookmark=Document\BM10

Users can access and modify the bookmark filters (Country and Business, in this case), but this should not be permitted, as it would compromise the automated emails that are sent via the alerts. Each email pertains to a particular Country/Business combination, so if, for example, a user changes the Country for bookmark ID 10 from United Kingdom to France and saves the change, then that would send incorrect data to the email recipients in the UK Automobiles group. A similar problem would arise if either of the two filters were removed.

Is there a way to either hide the bookmarks from the users (I cannot make them user bookmarks because the location/name of the report will change in the future, so I would lose them when that happens), make them "read-only", or "lock" the bookmark filters so they cannot be modified by the users?

Thanks,

VB
