Default Opening macro file as read only

I have a macro which is executed via a custom button. It's often used on more
than one workstation at a time. The problem is that the second user gets a 'file
in use' error. Fortunately, they're allowed to choose to open it Read Only,
which solves the problem.

I'd like to avoid the error message if possible. Is there any way to tell a
custom button to open the file Read Only?

Regards,
Fred
