Thanks very much for your help guys.

I was hoping that there would be a read only flag I could check or
something like that - I really only wanted to return the information,
not turn the protection off - but it seems it doesn't work that way!

Anyway, thanks for the example code - it's got me sorted on the right
track.

Thanks again!
