Hi Bob / Kenneth,

Again with the same question. I have tried it with the pasword protection and its working well.

but the problem now if its open on my computer as a read only file or on the user updating the progress can it be close before as i am having an error as this :
A document with the same name is alreadu open You cannot open two doc with the same name.

can you please on that that i checks on the user PC now if the said report is open if so then it closes it and update the progress.
