Workbook.ChangeFileAccess(XlFileAccess, Object, Object) Method

Definition

public void ChangeFileAccess (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlFileAccess Mode, object WritePassword, object Notify);
abstract member ChangeFileAccess : Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlFileAccess * obj * obj -> unit
Public Sub ChangeFileAccess (Mode As XlFileAccess, Optional WritePassword As Object, Optional Notify As Object)

Parameters

Mode
XlFileAccess

One of the XlFileAccess values. Specifies the new access mode.

WritePassword
Object

Specifies the write-reserved password if the file is write reserved and Mode is xlReadWrite. Ignored if there is no password for the file or if Mode is xlReadOnly.

Notify
Object

true to notify the user if the file cannot be immediately accessed.

Remarks

If you have a file open in read-only mode, you do not have exclusive access to the file. If you change a file from read-only to read/write, Microsoft Office Excel must load a new copy of the file to ensure that no changes were made while you had the file open as read-only.

Optional Parameters
