With much help from the people on AUGI I finially have what I was looking for.
The following LSP and DCL files will do the following:
When a Read-only copy of any dwg below 2007 is opened an alert button will appear stating that you've opened a dwg that is below an 07 version as read-only.
When a dwg has been opened fully that is below the 2007 version an alert button will appear stating the version number of the dwg that has been opened. Then a large and annoying pop-up will appear with 3 choices: Cancel, Convert to Read-only, or Open.
If they choose cancel, it closes out of the dwg completely (but does not affect any other dwgs they may have open).
If they choose read-only, it will close the original dwg and open a read-only copy of that dwg.
It will then show the "you've opened a read-only copy" alert again.
If they choose open, it will go ahead and open that dwg with full permissions.
This took quite a bit of work and I would like to share it if anyone would find it useful.
If you do use it, I ask that you do credit me with it.
Thank you!
