I have a password protected workbook that many users need to view. Is there a way it can be opened without having the Passwork box open asking for the password and then having to select Read Only?

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
If I have understood correctly, this ought to do it. But I would think twice before hardcoding a password. At least be sure to password protect your VBA project.
Code:
Workbooks.Open "C:\MyFile.Xls", ReadOnly:=True, Password:="TooManySecrets"
