Make excel open file without Read Only dialog
I've got an app which is written in VBA. The app is password
protected against modifications, so when users open it, Excel comes up with message 'm-portal is reserved by Saul Margolis. Enter password for write access, or open read only.' Some of the users have been entering their application passwords in this box. I was wondering whether there is a way to tell Excel to open read only without bringing up that dialog box - perhaps a parameter to excel.exe? Thanks in advance, Saul |

I always used windows explorer to make the files readonly.
Then excel wouldn't even bother asking how to open it. Maybe it'll work for you, too. Saul Margolis wrote: I've got an app which is written in VBA.
