Default Help with xlReadOnly

I believe that's code I posted a few days ago. You need the
xlReadOnly in order to allow the file to delete itself.

code


With ThisWorkbook
.Save
.ChangeFileAccess xlReadOnly
Kill .FullName
.saveas Filename:=newfilename, FileFormat:=xlNormal
End With


This is part of some coding that utilizes a naming convention
based on
worksheet entries. As I understand it, since it is changed to
Read
Only, it can't be saved again with the same name. If the sheet
is
saved with the naming convention, edited and this code tries to
execute
again, I get a

-Run-time error 1004, Cannot Save as that name. Document ws
opened as
read-only.-

Is the -.ChangeFileAccess xlReadOnly- necessary. Can I use
xlReadWrite? I also use a password.

TIA
