Edit ReadOnly:=True word doc

Hey all,


So i got a word doc in onedrive where i am the author.

when i manually open the file with r-click, open as read only then i can not edit the file contents.

but, when I open the file in readonly mode from a workbook with vba like this

Please Login or Register  to view this content.

word lets me edit the file but ofcourse does not let me save. which is actually what i need, so all good so far.

but when another user opens the file with the same code, word does not let them edit the file as opposed to my case!

if both users open the file without ReadOnly:=True (vba or manually) then both users can edit/save the file.

I tried making the 2nd user author as well but they still can't edit the file when in vba, ReadOnly:=True.

Any idea how i can make both users edit the file when opened with vba, ReadOnly:=True (and not be able to save)?


thx!

well im trying to acchieve this from within an excel workbook vba but sure if you think there is a more appropriate section
