    Thanks for your detailed answer. The answer explains how to make the file readonly. This is a bit from opening the file in Excel's readonly mode. The fist will mark the file readonly for all users, the latter will instruct Excel to open the file in readonly mode, will keep it editable for other users, and will prevent that Excel asks the user for the Excel sheet's password.

  • This answer should probably be deleted for the reasons Jan H states. It couldn't be implemented in any practical production environment without users complaining sooner or later. Commented May 26, 2021 at 17:09
