Can anyone please tell me why my worksheet opens as "Read-Only" when I issue
the following statement(s):

Object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;

oBook = oExcel.Workbooks.Open(openFileDialog1.FileName,
oMissing, false, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing,
oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing,
oMissing);

Is the Read-Only attribute assigned at the Windows level? Or was the workbook
saved with the Read-Only option activated?

In either case, you can't override "Read-Only" by setting that parameter to
false when opening the document. This parameter only allows you to ADD this
"security level" when opening the document, not to remove it. The Help states
"TRUE to open in read-only mode."
Object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;

oBook = oExcel.Workbooks.Open(openFileDialog1.FileName,
oMissing, false, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing,
oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing,
oMissing);
