Default Toggle Read Only

Hello.

I've got a workbook in Excel 2003 that, for the most part, needs to be
read-only (if users save a copy of it, that's fine - I just don't want them
screwing up the "master" version).

However, there will be occasions when I don't want it to be
read-only...namely, if I have to add more data to the file. Once that's done,
I want it to be read-only again. Is there a way I can turn read-only on and
off while I've got the file open? That way, the window of when it's "exposed'
is as small as possible.

TIA.
