Windows Explorer, Excel 2000, open as Read-only

[augustus]

Hi,
I know this might not be the right place to ask, but I tried Windows 9x communities site, and still waiting for a response....

I'm using Windows 95 and Office 2000; I want to add Read-Only to my right-click in Windows Explore, so that Excel file could be open in read-only mode.
But could someone tell me, what is the DDE message for it?
[Open ("%1")]
WHat else do I need to add to the above?
Furthermore, where could I find out about DDE message for Windows Explorer?

Thanks

Was looking for same - after much effort figured out that

[open("%1",,TRUE)]

should do it.

Note position of parentheses matters.

Having the same curiosity, I actually googled ad nauseum on likes of
"DDE message syntax" pretty much to no avail.

I think the syntax is equivalent to or a subset of something else -
but I'm clueless on that.

Sorry. But at least we have the read-only thing working.

Thanks.
