structured storage

Hi

This is on structured storage. Im having a problem creating a structure file that with
STGM_READWRITE |STGM_DIRECT |STGM_SHARE_DENY_WRITE options.
I tried stgcretedocfile and StgCreateStorageEx.

I even tried IDirectWriterLock interface, nothing seems to work. Basically i want the file to be opened in read/write access at one place and let others use it only using read access. How do i achieve this without STGM_TRANSACTED flag.
Any help is greately appreciated.

thanks
