I wrote a macro that will open workbooks that are linked to a main workbook when you open it. The problem is that if you have the linked workbook open it gives you a warning that the file is already open. Is there a way to check if the file is open prior to opening it, checking if it is read-only?

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
