You do not have the option of not allowing users to disable macros as long as
they can see the enable/disable message when the workbook opens.

You can digitally sign the workbook so they don't get the message or you can
render the workbook useless if the users disable macros.

i.e. if users disable macros and open the workbook all they see is a blank sheet
with a message like "in order to use this workbook, macros must be enabled.
please close and re-open with macros enabled". Other worksheets will be hidden.

If they do choose to close and reopen, the workbook returns to normal view with
worksheets unhidden.

You need workbook_open and workbook_beforeclose code to achieve this.

Thank you for your response.

The problem that I am having is that although the code works fine, some of
the users of this spreadsheet take the option of disabling the macros when
opening the file. As the code is designed to enforce capitals in column 12
when the "disable macros" option is taken when opening the spreadsheet, the
enforced capitals no longer works. What I would like is that when the
spreadsheet opens, that the user does not get the option of enable/disable
macros but the code still runs.

If there is some code that could do this and if I knew where to put it then
maybe this would solve my problem.

Thanks

John

This is event code.

The code does run automatically whenever you enter text in any cell in column 12
which is column L.

No need to remove anything from the code.

On August 9th you posted that you had everything worked out.

What transpired since then?

Are you having a problem?

Hi

I run Win 2K with Excel 2K

Question 1

I have some VB code in the "Sheet 1" module of my excel file.

The code is as follows:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Target.Column < 12 Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Formula = UCase(Target.Formula)
ErrHandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I would like this code to run automatically whenever the file is opened. (I
am assuming that this would remove the enable/disable dialog box option when
opening the file)

Can someone tell me how I might be able to do this?


Question 2

The worksheet I have is protected and contains a number of cells that allow
data entry. The problem I have is that a number of people use this
spreadsheet and some of these users change the formatting in the cells that
allow data entry.

Is there any code that I can add that would still allow the data entry but
not allow changes to the formatting?

Any help is much appreciated.

John
