Read-only from command prompt

[Conrad Santiago]

Is there a way to open a .ppt file from the command line prompt in read-only
mode? Are there command line options you can add to do this?

Thanks for any input.

Hi Conrad,

This newsgroup is specifically for matters dealing with Microsoft Project.
I suggest you try to find a more appropriate newsgroup that deals with
powerpoint problems.

Forgive me, typo. Let's try this again...

Is there a way to open a .mpp file from the command line prompt in
read-only mode? Are there command line options you can add to do
this?

If you're running from a cmd prompt - why not just set the file attribute +R
first - and then open the file?

Thanks for the question, Lars.

As Scheduler, I will be using the .mpp file in a
consolidated view. Meanwhile, the Project Manager may
want to view the file read-only. I want to create a
shortcut for the PM to open the file read-only.
Any ideas?

If the Scheduler alread has the file open read-write, the PM will
automatically get a read-only copy of the file.
Or am I missing something...?
