read-only message quirk

I have a w03 network network with 7 w2k workstations and 2 XP workstations. We use excel as our main program. All users update a single spreadsheet.

When opening a spreadsheet that is already in use we want the “read only” message to display when we open the document, and this happens on 5 of the 7 w2k workstations. However, on the other two w2k workstations, the “read only” message does not display until we try to save the document.

Why the inconsistency?
How and what do I change to make all of them display the “read only” message on open?

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
