There was the same question reported in 2005 and was wondering if there was an answer to this question somewhere ...

I dont know if this is good for all versions of VB, but give it a check:

dim MyFile as io.fileinfo = my.computer.filesystem.getfileinfo("c:\AnyFile.xls")
myfile.isreadonly = true

Thanks a lot. That is not really working for me BUT while I was trying it, it lead me to the solution. I used:

ActiveDocument.ReadOnlyRecommended = True

ant it seems to work. I can still change the Windows Property, but it looks like the read-only permissions is set internaly and it doesn't get affected even when I change the permission from Windows explorer.

Thanks
