Unless someone has a better suggestions - I would just insert the following code at the start of your routines.
If ActiveWorkbook.ReadOnly Then
exit sub
End If
If you have a lot of routines then I would suggest you create an xla file with all thes processes etc which is called by the workbook - in that case you would load the xla only if the file was not a read-only file
as in the following example.
If ActiveWorkbook.ReadOnly Then
exit sub
else
Workbooks.Open FileName:="my_xla_file.xla"
End If
