Default Detecting a another workbook has opended

Hi All
In an Excel workbook is there a method to detect that the user has opended
or is opening another workbook ?

For instance......

A workbook application is open, the user navigates in explorer to another
xls file and double clicks it, this opens in the existing instance of xL, is
there a way for the already open workbook to detect this new workbook, with
the following actions....

1. Tell the user they must close the current application before loading a
new workbook
2. Prevent the new workbook from opening.
