Problem with read only prompt

Mar 6th, 2002, 08:36 PM

I am using a VB macro in another application to compare data to a spreadsheet.Currently I can only have 1 user at a time in the spreadsheet(or running the macro) because the read only prompt always crashes the macro for additional users. Any thoughts on what code will select read only if the spreadsheet is already open?

I *think* it's:

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Don't forget to include at the end:

Application.DisplayAlerts = True
