Default detect if file opens read-only

I want to step through all of the files in a directory, update them, and
save. If a file is open (another user), the code can assign a new name and
saveAs. How can I tell if it opens as readonly?
Multiuserediting property doesn't work, this is not a shared list.
The following doesn't work, it puts up a dialog asking the user whether to
replace:

On Error Resume Next
ActiveWorkbook.Save
If Err.Number = 1004 Then
strPathFile = Left(strPathFile, Len(strPathFile) - 4)
strPathFile = strPathFile & "XXX.xls"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=strPathFile
Err.Clear
End If
It doesn't get past the .save step.
I want this to run without user interaction.
Thanks for any suggestions
