write protection for project files

[Anne]

Hi!

Is it possible to make Project file write protected? I
found the method "ReadOnly" but the usage was wrong
(thisProject.readOnly). The Object catalogue was not
helpful.

This will save the file "readonlytest.mpp" file as a read-only password
protected file.

Sub Readonly()
FileSaveAs Name:="C:\readonlytest.mpp", FormatID:="MSProject.MPP",
WriteResPassword:="mypassword"
End Sub

As far as I know setting the read only password can only be done when saving
the file, so you need to save the file somewhere in your procedure.
