Default Read Only File

Hi,
I want to open an XL file which is saved as read only as part of a macro,
(all above board, its my file). I know the code to open it but it still
gives the promt for the password. This is on a networked system, the file in
question is on a public drive.
Workbooks.Open Filename:="\\P:\Statistics$\Files\DA\BB29.xls"
Is there a way to incorporate the password within the code so it just opens
the file in the same way as unprotecting a worksheet like
Sheet2.Unprotect ("Password")
Something like
Workbooks.Open Filename:="\\P:\Statistics$\Files\DA\BB29.xls", Password:=
("Password")
That doesnt work, I've tried it!
Thanks for any advice,
Regards,
Alan.
