That's true be the client would have to have the password to open the file.
The reason I'm asking is because I'm working on a very large retail project where my firm is doing the overall shell of the retail spaces and each tenant will higher their own architect to layout their spaces. We would like to have our main file read only so other architects cannot manipulate our drawings.

Anyway, I don't work for Mr. Wengerd and have no affiliations with him or his products. I suggested cadlock because it's a sound, mature product (about 10 years old) and he is a reputable, trustworthy person .. and a very clever programmer I might add.
I tried CADlock some time ago and found that when I used it before it required that the ARX file be loaded on the system accessing the file, otherwise access to the file was denied.
