I have an application where a number of network connected users that might
want to open it. If the application is already in use, then as normal the
new user is told it is in use and they can open it as 'read-only'. This
is
OK but is there a way in VBA to detect that the file is open as read-only
which I can use to prevent changes and saving of this version of the file
?

TIA
Nigel


I think you are looking for

Thisworkbook.Readonly
