Default Open password protected file with macros

Thanks Barb, I mean the file not a worksheet... I digged deeper into others
posts and find out what I needed.

From Dave Peterson i got the following

Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\Settings.xls", _
Password:="1234", writerespassword:="qwer"

you could unlock the cells they write to or unprotect and reprotect as you
run the code. Once protection is added to a worksheet, I think the code
creation is much more tedious.

I want others to open as read only so I force them pasword protecting my
file but then I need to open it to write with macros..
