You could put the following macro in the document
Sub AutoOpen() MsgBox "Stop! Someone is working on this account." End Sub However, if the macro security is set to high, the macro will automatically be deleted and if it is set to medium, the user will be asked if they want to allow the macro to run. The other issue is that this would run whenever the document is opened, whether or not someone else had it opened. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

If the document is opened by someone, a lock file is created. If someone
else attempts to open that document, a system message reports that the document is locked and provides the option to open a read only copy. Only one person can open a document at a time. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Lane" wrote in message ...
