Hello,

Is there a way to bypass the Password to Modify dialog box so that I can make users open a particular file as read only?

I might need to override the bypass at some point to make changes

Thanks
Phil

Easiest way to supress the dialog is to go to windows explorer, right click on the file, select "properties" and mark the file read only. The password to modify does not appear if the file is already being opened read only. (If you need to undo it, just uncheck the box, and then you will be able to provide the password again.)
