Default Skip Read Only MsgBox with Save As

I don't think so, it seems to kick in before any event fires.

So I guess there is not a way to skip the Save As Dialog box?

You could tell the users to stop using that button (or file|SaveAs, or
ctrl-s)
and give them a way to run a macro that avoids that prompt.

Option Explicit
Sub Testme01()
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show
End Sub

I have a workbook that is protected, which forces users to open it in

Only if they do not have the password. When the user clicks on Save a
Message Box pops up saying "Workbook is Read Only. To Save a copy,
Click OK,
then give the workbook a new name in the Save As Dialog Box." Is there
a way
to skip the message box and go straight to the Save As Dialog Box?

Thanks in Advance,
