)
'Usage
Dim instance As _Workbook

    XlFileAccess Mode,

    Object Notify
)

Parameters

• Mode
  Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlFileAccess

  Required XlFileAccess. Specifies the new access mode.

• WritePassword
  Type: System.Object

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

• Notify
  Type: System.Object

  Optional Object. True (or omitted) to notify the user if the file cannot be immediately accessed.

Remarks

If you have a file open in read-only mode, you don't have exclusive access to the file. If you change a file from read-only to read/write, Microsoft 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.
