Mike,

Brilliant thanks again...must admit was reading and re-reading original
post, could I trouble you on one last question please?

Using the principle above, is there a code to stop anyone deleting the
workbook when its in its folder? and also stop them making a copy when they
have opened in read only mode - this is frequent despite my rantings and
ravings

We have approx 60 users inputting data, 5 have editing rights and two with
full permissions - as all the sheets designed contain vital customer data,
can i prevent accidental deletion? - some users do not read before acting!!!

Change to suit

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)

Dim pWord As String
pWord = "MyPass"
Msg = "Deleting Rows/Columns Not Permitted"
If Target.Address = Target.EntireRow.Address Or _
Target.Address = Target.EntireColumn.Address Then
response = InputBox("Enter password")
If response = pWord Then Exit Sub
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.Undo
Msg = MsgBox(Msg, 16, "WARNING")
.EnableEvents = True
End With
Else
Exit Sub
End If

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Hi,

Is there a code to prevent users from deleting rows or columns in all the
sheets within a workbook, but allowing an authorised user (me), to input a
password to then carryout deletion / insertion.

I have a number of users who have access to the password to unprotect the
sheet for editing....the vba password is known only to two of us and i want
to stop my colleagues from 'accidentally' changing things without my being
asked.

I have used a variation of this so far (thanks to John for the post) but
need to expand as stated above:

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)

If Sh.Name = "Sheet2" Then

If Target.Address = Target.EntireRow.Address Then

With Application

.EnableEvents = False

.Undo

msg = MsgBox("Deleting Rows Not Permitted", 16, "WARNING")

.EnableEvents = True

End With

Else

Exit Sub

End If
End If

End Sub
