Password Message Box

We have a shared workbook which is password protected. When a user opens the file, the password message box pops up asking for a password or read only. The problem is, if somebody leaves that message box up on their computer, it locks the file for everybody. (it took me a couple years to figure out that is what causes the "File is Locked" message) Is there anyway to put a timer on that message box?
If not, is there a way to get a user form to ask for a password? I would create a form in another workbook with links to this one.

Thanks,

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Thanks, I have that working. Is there any way to use that is a user form? I would like the form to have password box and 2 command buttons for Read Only and Cancel.
