You have a good point. I understand that.

The problem is that users in the world could not be I.
I can follow your suggestion, but what about tremendous number of casual
users all over the world?

Another scenario:
The Human Resource in a traditional company (*1) sent to all employees
an e-mail commanding them open and fill an document, print, and submit it.
The document can be obtained from \\Fileserver\Path\Filename.
User A opens the document under normal mode.
User B opens it under read-only mode.
User C opens it under read-only mode.
The users B, C, and the rest are not given meaningful information on the
situation. They face "read-only." They are warned with a message
"This document cannot be edited, possibly due to missing access right.
Do you want to edit a copy of the document?" upon clicking on an icon
"Edit file." The similar situation still happens.
*1: the company does not have web specialists who can create a web form
and system that automatically gathering submitted data.
Caio,
Tora
