vba excel fileopen

thanx guys

i think i'll just close the readonly file, open it as writable, use it,
close it, and open the file as readonly.

not elegant at all

but writes will happen on a less frequent basis, less than 1 in 5 i
estimate.

i'd rather save the memory (some computers in use are relatively old
with less than 256mb ram. won't be as responsive and i'd like though.




thanx again.

Good Choice

Getting it right is better than getting it fast
If only users understood...
