Windows XP: Open file in read-only: Word, Excel, Visio
I'm often sharing files on a network drive with someone. Often, one of us knows that we don't need to open a file for modification, and we only need read-access. Is there a way to open a file in read-only mode so that when someone does need to open it for modification, the read-only user is not blocking that? If there is not a way to do this native to Windows XP, is there a way to do it from the three applications that we use most, namely Word, Excel, Visio? All are 2003 versions. Thx.

I used to save files like this in "read only recommended" mode. File|SaveAs|Tools|General Options|and check that box. It's not foolproof, but most people would open in readonly mode. paul.domaskis@gmail.com wrote: > > I'm often sharing files on a network drive with someone.

petersodAnother way to do this, as long as both of you know when you will need a document to be read only, is just to use the regular Ctrl-O command. When the Open File window opens, next to the "Open" button you'll see a little black down arrow. Select the file you want (single click only) and then cick on that arrow, and "Open Read-Only" will be one of the options available to you. Pick it. I hope this helps.

IdahoWordManHmmm, that's an options. Is there to make opening in readonly not so much a default as an option that can be called upon when occassionally needed?

In Word 2007, go to "Open" dialog, select your file. Then, press the little down arrow next to the "Open" button. One of the options is to open the file in read-only mode. In Word 2003 (which I have no longer installed on this machine) there was a similar option in the "Open" dialog if I'm not mistaken.

So you're going to trust the users to either rightclick on the file or choose the dropdown on the Open button within the File|Open dialog. That doesn't sound feasible to me. paul.domaskis@gmail.com wrote: > > On Apr 1, 1:31 pm, Dave Peterson <peter...@verizonXSPAM.net> wrote: > > How would windows/excel know when it was needed? > > What I pictured was that open-in-read-only would be one of the options > in the context menu that pops up when you right-click the file in > Windows Explorer. > > > paul.domas...@gmail.com wrote: > > > > > Hmmm, that's an options.

Hi, Wonder if anybody has any idea how to deal with this one. Can't find anything in the knowledge base about this specific error. When an email message is opened in Outlook, choosing File + Print results in the following error message: Function address 0x77fcdf2a caused a protection fault. (exception code 0xc0000005) Some or all property page(s) may not be displayed. It does print from the print command when accessed directly from the header with a right click on the menu.

Excel Charts
Hi all , Can somebody give me information about any vendor providing a tool to that integrates Great plains data with Excel Charts and Graphs. Thanks in advance I would recommend Analysis Cubes for Excel (? not sure if that's still the name). It's the "BI" solution that MS bought from Professional Advantage. It is not too expensive, and will save you a lot of hours if you are currently doing a lot of 'reporting' thru smartlists. It is very use-able out of the box, and can also be customized with the help of the developers. Hope this helps, Maria. "vija...
