    When trying to use the following function I get an automation error if
    someone is using the file being referenced. Can I reformat this to open
    the file read only or something?

    (setq dbxdoc (vla-GetInterfaceObject *acad* ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.16"))
    (vla-open dbxdoc filename)

    I did try using (vla-open dbxdoc filename :vlax-true) but I still get
    the Automation error...

    thanks again!

    Nope. If the target document is RO, you must either work on a copy of the
    document, or skip it.

    I should have figured. Nothing is that easy. I suppose I will have to
    create a function to copy the files.

    Thanks!
