hello, how can i stop someone to make printout my sheet or some data
thanks in advance

Excel "security" is usually easily circumvented, but something along these
lines might do what you want.........

Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
Range("B5:E10").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A1").Select
End Sub

The macro should be placed in the "This Workbook" module, and it will run
automatically when a user tries to print.

I'm sorry......the macro does "clear contents" on the selected range, thereby
"preventing that area from being printed out". Since you had not specified
what particular data you wished prevented from printout, I only offered it as
a example method of what could be done. It never occured to me that you
would want the user to be able to continue working with the sheet after
trying and failing to print out. The data cannot be restored in this
session. If you did not save the file back over the original, then just
re-opening the original will retrieve the data. If you wish a similar
action, but the data to be retrieveable, then the macro could be modified to
just copy the data to another sector and then later be restored back.....or
a completely different tact taken. Give us some more details on exactly what
you wish to have happen when a user tries to print out, and someone will help.

Maybe something along these lines would be better for you.........if you type
"password" without quotes in Sheet3 cell A3, then you can print out Sheet 1
ok, if that cell is empty, Sheet 1 will not print out.......you can change
the password and the ranges to suit your needs.....

Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
If Not Range("sheet3!a3").Value = "password" Then
Sheets("Sheet3").Select
Range("A1:B2").Select
End If
End Sub

No offense, but if you are giving advice that includes a macro that will delete data, and the user has only said they don't want it
printed, the LEAST you can do is warn them that this option will delete the data if they run the macro. Good thing they only have to
close without saving to get their data back if they were smart and saved before putting your macro in their file.

Agreed. My bad there. I did apologize and offered another solution after
the OP brought it to my attention. I know that's not as good after the fact,
but it's all I can do at this time. Incidently, no offense taken, and thanks
for raising the issue, that all concerned might avert the same sort of
mistake in the future.
