Default I want "locked for editing" message

I like the message that says

Wbook.xls is locked for editing
by 'Username'
Click 'Notify' to open a read-only copy of the document and
receive notification when the document is no longer in use.

But if I open a workbook via

Workbooks.Open Filename:="Wbook.xls"

...it just opens Read-only, which is not what I want.

Can I get VBA to do this, so the user would be notified? I could
duplicate the text in VBA, but it wouldn't notify anybody.
