Make a Word Document Read-only from VBA 1

[Cloonalt]

I combine multiple Word documents into one from my front end. The document will launch and the user will make edits.

I've been asked to then save that final Word document as read-only.

I can't see a way to do that from Word (well, it looks convoluted and involves passwords, which they don't want), and they don't really want to rely on the user to save ut as read only anyway.

Does anyone have an idea how I might achieve this? Save it as read only from a button click?

I then have to point to this Word doc from a hyperlink in an e-mail. I've got the email process pretty much set, but can I do it at this point?

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks.

Cloonalt,
It sounds like you want to change the file attrtibute:

SetAttr "YourFileName.doc", vbReadOnly

Hope this helps,
