ADO: importing Excel data while it is already open by another user...

Is there a parameter to set to allow opening Excel file read only while
it is already open by another user?

I've tried the .mode setting in my connection string to adModeRead, but
it still won't allow me to read data from the spreadsheet. I get the
typical "File is opened exclusively by another user" error message.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
