Is there a way to "force" Photoshop (Either CS1 or CS2) to open up any image in the CMYK mode? I have several users that are forgeting to convert RGB images to CMYK and is causing problems when going to press.

Thanks

You can run an action to convert from RGB>CMYK, There should be one installed by default. Check your actions palette.

There is an RGB to Grayscale, but no RGB to CMYK. Is this easy to create. It appears to be similar to a Macro.

And if you want that action to happen automatically as soon as you open any image, read about the Scripts Events Manager, in File>Scripts

If you want to batch your action on image folders look at using insert menu item and place conditional mode change this will give more options and less errors
