Default Read only command line switch

Oh wise ones,

Excel 2003
XP Pro

I would like to force a workbook to open read only. I have followed the
directions in the help section, but I must be doing something wrong. Any help
would be appreciated.

The workbook is on a shared network drive here;
S:\common\Lab\Job Aids\Golive.xls

I created a shortcut and edited the target like below, but windows says it's
invalid.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE /r S:\common\Lab\Job
Aids\Golive.xls"

Thanks,
Mike
