Maybe disable send when that workbook is active,

application.CommandBars(1).Controls("File").contro ls("Send To").enabled =
false

and enable it on inactive.

Hi everyone,

I wondered if anyone might be able to help me with a small issue I am
having.

My company distributes an analysis tool in Excel (the decision for using
Excel over a custom application is beyond my control). We have put a lot
of
time and effort into ensuring the high quality of the data - which is very
valuable - within the application and I have instituted a number of
security
procedures to try and provide some additional security.

Most have been reasonably simple to implement and have not caused me any
difficulty. However, we have been having a problem with people (sales)
emailing the entire workbook out to clients...despite instructions not to
do
this, it continues unabated. While the other security procedures should
stop
people from viewing the code, data and the like - one cannot be certain.

Is anyone aware of any way to STOP emailing of files from within Excel
VBA?
I know that I cannot stop people from, when using Outlook, emailing the
file
directly...but my feeling is that most just use the Send Mail function
within
Excel and for this reason I very much want to disable it (if at all
possible).

Please let me know if you have any thoughts on this, or any other security
issues you might be familiar with when it comes to distributing Excel
workbooks (any idear are always welcome).

Thanks!

David
