Remarks
If you have a file open in read-only mode, you don't have exclusive access to the file. If you change a file from read-only to read/write, Microsoft Excel must load a new copy of the file to ensure that no changes were made while you had the file open as read-only.
Example
This example sets the active workbook to read-only.
ActiveWorkbook.ChangeFileAccess Mode:=xlReadOnly
