We have change management and often find it desirable to view source before checking it out or just to see what effect it has on the program being worked on. Is it possible to open source in Read-Only mode from the Production environment, or must the source be in an updatable environment?

Sure, just use the "Browse with" option, on the popup context menu, instead of "Open with".

Actually, if you don't have update authority to the source file, WDSC will popup a dialog to tell you that you can't update it and offer to open the member in browse mode.
