Vba Workbook Open Read Only. VBA workbook.open ReadOnly:=True failing - what's wrong? As far as I know I'm doing nothing to modify the workbook in any way (other than the fact that I'm touching it) - so I should be able to open read only, grab my data, close it and move on - even if someone else is editing it at the time.
The Password argument is a string value specifying the password required to Application. I am using below method to open the file from SharePoint but it opens read only. VBA workbook.open ReadOnly:=True failing - what's wrong?
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Call ReadDataFromCloseFile End Sub.
Note: If you only want to recommend users to open the Excel file as read-only, without protecting it, don't enter a password and check Read-only recommended.
There are a lot of rarely used arguments for Workbooks. If you only want to save those workbooks that. If you want the file only to be read, then TRUE is the argument.
