Hi,

I am currently using the Sheet_Deactivate event to check
if a user
try's to delete a sheet. Is there anyway to cancel the
actual sheet
deletion after the user has selected Delete on the Excel
message box
that is displayed when deleting any sheet? Basically
what I am trying
to do is stop users deleting a sheet if it has
particular information
on it?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance..

Thanks Abdul, but I need to allow the user to delete the sheet if it
does not contain certain information (which I can catch in my code).
Basically I need to catch the deleting in an event and then determine if
they are allowed to delete it or not. If not, then I need to display a
message and stop them from deleting. Displaying the message if fine, but
how to I stop the actual deletion of the sheet once they have selected
delete on the Excel message box? Can this be done?

Thanks, Rick
