Hello all, If you need to disable both the Cut & Copy features of Excel
then the following VBA works fine - I have used this to stop people
cutting cells and pasting to other worksheets then saving the file -
causing errors.

-- Copy the following code into the "ThisWorkbook" page --

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Run "Workbook_Activate"

End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)

Run "Workbook_Deactivate"

End Sub

-- Copy the following code into a new "Module" --

Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
Dim oCtrl As Office.CommandBarControl

'Disable all Cut menus
For Each oCtrl In Application.CommandBars.FindControls(ID:=21)
oCtrl.Enabled = False
Next oCtrl

'Disable all Copy menus
For Each oCtrl In Application.CommandBars.FindControls(ID:=19)
oCtrl.Enabled = False
Next oCtrl

Application.CellDragAndDrop = False

End Sub



Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
Dim oCtrl As Office.CommandBarControl

'Enable all Cut menus
For Each oCtrl In Application.CommandBars.FindControls(ID:=21)
oCtrl.Enabled = True
Next oCtrl

'Enable all Copy menus
For Each oCtrl In Application.CommandBars.FindControls(ID:=19)
oCtrl.Enabled = True
Next oCtrl

Application.CellDragAndDrop = True

End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal
Target As Range)
With Application
.CellDragAndDrop = False
.CutCopyMode = False 'Clear clipboard
End With
End Sub

Save the file then exit Excel - restart the file - the copy & cut
functions should now not work.
