If you insert the following VBA line into your project then the 'Options' menu will not be available: commandbars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("Tools").Controls("Options").Enable d=False If you put this in the OpenWorkbook Event, then as soon as your workbook is opened the code will run and the options menu will be disabled. It is of course good practice to also put a similar line into your CloseWorkbook event code, but change the 'False' statement to true, so that the option is again available. If you wish to disable the whole of a particular menu tree, youe could truncate the line, so to diable the entire 'Tools' menu tree the line would be: commandbars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("Tools").Enabled=False Note - the above code samples are on one continuous line, not two as displayed on screen.

Neil,
Maybe I'm not entering it correctly in VB...not sure but cannot get it to work. Can you please expand on the instructions on where to place the line.
