Andrew,
I guess the OP meant that he wants a STRONGER warning that the file is Read-Only, not that he wants to disable this behaviour.
What you are ultimately talking about here is version (or revision) control. There are a lot of solutions out there ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_revision_control_software). Many of them open source.




Hmm - well, just a thought. ( Kind of surprised Andrew did not offer this )

Script your own warning. All the needed pieces are there in the application. You can do it in OOoBasic with only a few lines of code actually...( well, less then a lot of lines of code anyway )

OO.o offers an application wide event for when a document is opened.
You can assign this event to a basic sub proceudre.
This sub procedure could check to see if the document is READ-ONLY.
If so - display a dialog box to your users.

Anyway, it should work.

Once you have the OOoBasic script working on your machine you just download a copy of BasicExtensionBuilder - run the wizard, answer a few questions and it chugs out a nice *.oxt file that you install globally in your OO.o network (shared) directory vie extension manager and voila - it is available to all.
