Problem with read only prompt

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?
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
I *think* it's:

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Don't forget to include at the end:

Application.DisplayAlerts = True
