Default Workbook protection


Hi, i searched the forum and found a post on how to protect the
workbook, which is what i wanted.

"Try Tools - Options - Security tab
to assign passwords to modify or open the workbook"

However, i want to be able to open the workbook without entering a
password, but the user can't modify/change anything.
Heres a clearer picture, i got a workbook called A and there are two
macros which leads to this workbook.
1-opens it and locks the workbook for protection
2-need to enter a password to insert layout lines etc.

So does anyone know how to protect the workbook from modify but could
be read? or is there a macro code for it as im making macros (sorry for
the wrong section post if this is a macro case :( )

thanks in advance,
Bonbon
