Do you get that dialog when you are opening the file?

If yes, then
File|SaveAs|Tools|General Options|
give it a password to open (or modify).

If you give it a password to modify and the user opens in readonly mode, then
this user won't be prompted.

But it sounds like you do have that modify password set.

Two followup questions...

Have you changed the attributes of the file (in windows explorer) to ReadOnly?
If yes, then excel will notice this and won't bother asking you for a password
to modify.

Do you have the workbook stored on a drive that you have write access? If you
can only read files from this (network????) drive, then excel will notice that
and not bother you with a password.

Hello,

I don't get the script box asking for a password on a workbook anymore. It
does display as read only. How can I get the box to appear again?
