Hello,
I am using Shell() function to open a word document
by clicking on a command button in a Form.

Since the document is supposed to function as a 'help'
file, I want to open the document as a 'read only' file.

thanks,
peter
 
Hi,
One way would be to make the document itself read only by rightclicking on it and
checking off the Read Only attribute in the Properties sheet.
 
Consider the Password To Modifiy opton in Word. You may want to be able to
edit the document in word, but allow users read only.
