Disable Quick Save & Save As
 

I have found a string (below) to put into M.V.B. that works great for this.
When I click over to the excel file it does not allow me to Q.Save or
File/Save as€¦.. But now I cannot save the file with the new macro because I
have disabled that function? I am a newbie to M.V.B. but this seems like
some strange Catch 22 situation€¦. Please help if possible.


Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Me.Saved = True
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
End Sub

Open the workbook with macros disabled and enter the code and save.

Not sure what you're trying to achieve here but if it's to prevent
unauthorised copying of the file, whilst it will work it's not at all
secure. All the user has to do is what Mike H suggested, ie open the file
with macros disabled, then they can save as they please.
You can prevent uninformed casual users from doing this, but even with those
you need to be far more devious. No matter how devious you are you cannot
prevent anyone with relatively little knowledge and the will to do so from
circumventing your efforts, Excel security is not its strong point.
Regards,
Alan.
