Default VBA Excel Checking whether an XL file is already open elsewhere

I am trying to write a sub routine when checks to see if
an excel spreadsheet is already opened by someone else on
the network.

Basically, I need to update a "summary" spreadsheet with
data ... but it is often open and being view by others ..
so i need to check if it is indeed being read and halt the
update.

hope someone can help

thanks
