If you use windows explorer to mark the file as readonly, excel will see this
and not even offer the user a choice.

Same thing if you the file is on a server that the user only has read access.

If those are not possible, you could use another workbook that contains a macro
that would open your file whichever way you want.

(You did mean you password protected the workbook (not the worksheet), right?)
