Excel - know when book is in readonly mode

[hazed 0]

Sorry wrong Forum

I need to update a shared Spreadsheet. Unfortunately other's may have it opened already. Using Excelcom.au3 I open, update and get out. But sometimes when i open it it is in a readonly mode, if it is i need to do something else. Is there a easy way to find out at or shortly after opening a spreadsheat with excom.au3 if one has Read/Write access.?

Hallo hazel

I thing that your looking for the DesignMode property (Spreadsheet)

Property type

A Boolean value.

Syntax

object.DesignMode [= value]

value A Boolean value. - the proprty is a both setting and return command...
