How to Open file as read only
I want to open a file as read only and get some data from. However when I use
the follwoing code and someone already has the file open, it is as if I never specified read only in the VBA Code. If Dir(MyPath & LE_Actuals & "\" & Arr(i)) < "" Then Workbooks.Open (MyPath & LE_Actuals & Arr(i)), 0, ReadOnly = True ActiveWorkbook.Windows(1).Visible = False |

How to Open file as read only

boolean value True. For named arguments you use colon equal ReadOnly:=True -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Helen" wrote in message ... I want to open a file as read only and get some data from.
