Hi, I am having problems with opening a locked file. I know it is locked frequently, but I just want to extract data, not save it. So read-only should be fine.

I use the following:
Set wb = Application.Workbooks.Open(path, ignorereadonlyrecommended:=True, editable:=False, notify:=False, ReadOnly:=True)

However, it opens a 'Save-as' popup. I really do not understand.

Anyone with ideas?

Ciao,
