Default Prevent two network users from opening same workbook?

If a workbook is already open and a user tries to open it across a
network connection, they get the "Read Only / Notify" dialog. Is
there a convenient way to detect that one user already has the
workbook open, and prevent a second user from opening the file at all,
not even as Read Only?
