XL2007 Opening xlam from read only share
 

Folks

I'm having a problem opening an add-in as read only form a read-only
file share.

Basically Excel returns an ACCESS DENIED error.

I have fired up process monitor and here is what it reports:

Date & Time: 24.12.2008 11:13:12
Event Class: File System
Operation: CreateFile
Result: ACCESS DENIED
Path: S:\SomePath\aMacro.xlam
TID: 2688
Duration: 0.0003506
Desired Access: Generic Read
Disposition: Open
Options: Synchronous IO Non-Alert, Non-Directory File
Attributes: N
ShareMode: Read, Write, Delete
AllocationSize: n/a

If understand this correctly Excel is apparently requesting a
"CreateFile" (!?) on my add-in... Is this some sort of bug or am I
missing something ? I'm pretty sure I could host add-ins in read only
location with XL2003...

Regards
