Opening Word Read Only

[Domino2]

I was opening up Word documenets with:

oApp.Documents.Open Filename:=LWordDoc, ReadOnly:=True

But now using URL's

Application.FollowHyperlink strFile

Problem is the Word documents being opened are not protected being read only. Is there any way round it?? Thanks

One possiblity is to change the security property on the directory that the document is located in. User 1 could be given read, write and modify access, and User 2 could be given just read access. Then when User 2 is presented with the word document, it will be in read only mode.

Many thanks. All the documents are in one directory. Can I set the security property levels by code?. Don't know much about folder securities. Thanks
