Although it's listed in the Properties dialog box, the Total Editing
Time property is available in Excel. There's information in this MSKB
article:

XL2000: Revision Number and Total Editing Time Boxes Are Empty
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/214393/en-us

You could manually or programmatically record the times that you open
and close the file, and calculate the total time.
